This speech was delivered this morning by Nick Hillman, Director of HEPI, to the GSA / HMC University Admissions Conference.
Recovering from COVID
Thank you for inviting me to speak at this annual conference on university admissions once more. I first did so back in November 2014, exactly eight years ago. It was a different time, back in the halcyon days of the Coalition, four Prime Ministers and 10 Secretaries of State for Education ago – before the Brexit referendum and before COVID as well as before more recent geopolitical events like the invasion of Ukraine.
