Going to university was once seen as only for people from better-off families. This is no longer the case - more students are now going into higher education than ever before, partly as a result of the government's Aimhigher initiative. This programme provides an introduction to the wide variety of activities Aimhigher organises as it works to widen participation in higher education, particularly for young people who come from families where there is no tradition of going into higher education. We hear from a variety of young people about what Aimhigher means to them - from Year 6 pupils, getting their first taste of university life at the Royal Veterinary College, to Barnsley College students hosting a Science fair for Year 10s.
