Advance HE’s annual Equality in Higher Education statistical reports present staff and students’ protected characteristics in 300+ data tables, accompanied by comments on how representation and other outcomes (e.g., awarding rates, pay gaps, etc) have changed over time, highlighting key takeaway messages for the sector.
At the recent Wonkhe Festival of Higher Education, Andy Youell presented the path from data to statistics to information to insights in his discussion of how we derive value from the numbers we see. Our annual Equality in Higher Education reports present the data in as much detail as possible and include a degree of digestible information on what these statistics means in terms of progress across the sector.
But how can we derive greater value from the data presented in these reports?
