{Therefore it is|So it will be|It is therefore} {a shock|a wonder|a delight} to find an article in the Guardian {in regards to a|with regards to a|of a} ranking from the {Larger|Bigger} Education Policy Institute ( HEPI) in the UK that actually puts Cambridge at the bottom and the University of Outer skin at the top. {Close to the|Nearby the|Near to the} bottom are others in the Russell group, Oxford, Bristol and LSE.
{At the very top|Towards the top|At the pinnacle} we find Edge {Slope|Mountain|Hillside}, Cardiff Metropolitan and, of course, Anglia Ruskin {Educational institutions|Colleges|Schools}.
The ranking was part of a report written for HEPI by Iain Martin, vice-chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University, that {apparently|allegedly|theoretically} rates universities for {reasonable|good} access, that has a student intake that {showcases|wall mirrors|mirror} society as {an entire|a total|a full}. It compares the ratio of participation in higher education of school leavers in local authority areas with the percentage {accepted|publicly stated|confessed} by specific universities. {Educational institutions|Colleges|Schools} have {a higher|a top|an increased} rank if they draw students from areas where relatively few school leavers go to university. The rationale is what he claims that learning outcomes are {increased|better|improved upon} when people of diverse backgrounds study together.
{It really is|It truly is|It can be} noticeable that there several Scottish universities clustered {at the end|in the bottom} even though Scotland has a free tuition {plan|coverage|insurance plan} (not for the {British|English language|Uk} of course) that was {designed to|meant to|likely to} guarantee fair gain access to.
This rankings looks like an inversion of the ranking of UK {educational institutions|colleges|schools} according to average {access|admittance|entrance} tariff, ie 'A' level grades, and a similar inversion of most global rankings based on research or reputation.
Cambridge and other Russell Group {educational institutions|colleges|schools} have been under increasing pressure to relax {access|admittance|entrance} standards and indiscriminately {sponsor|get|generate} more low income students and those from {in the past|traditionally|in times past} unrepresented groups. {It would appear that|It appears that|Apparently} they are slowly giving way to the pressure and that as academic {requirements|specifications|criteria} erode they will be {little by little|slowly but surely} eclipsed by the rising universities of East Asia.
