It is crucial for higher education providers to develop preventive strategies that will ensure students ' mental health and academic success not only are maintained,\u0000 but improved, through university and beyond. This paper reports on a UK study that aimed to embed mental wellbeing and resilience skills within the neuroscience curriculum using a 'curriculum infusion' approach. A programme was designed that included a series of 'neurobiology of resilience'\u0000 workshops and reflective activities within compulsory modules. Students were surveyed at the end of the semester using the Resilience Scale for Young Adults, as well as questions on lifestyle and growth mindset. Additionally, thematic analysis was carried out on extenuating circumstances (EC)\u0000 claims placed to identify changes in the number of mental health-related concerns. It is perceived that this approach might be of particular benefit for 'non - traditional' or 'widening participation' students, and students from minorities or disadvantaged groups, as part of strengthening\u0000 their internal locus of control. The study compared results from a cohort receiving the intervention (N=42) with results from a previous cohort who did not (N=28). It found that students receiving the workshops showed significantly higher mental resilience in terms of optimism, adaptability\u0000 and a decrease in emotional reactivity. This was accompanied by a lower proportion of mental health-related ECs submitted.","PeriodicalId":90763,"journal":{"name":"Widening participation and lifelong learning : the journal of the Institute for Access Studies and the European Access Network","volume":"203 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76651319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the meagre research available in the Global South, and particularly in Africa, this study was conducted to assess the status of student attrition in 15 Ethiopian\u0000 public universities over the course of a decade (2007/08 – 2017). The study examined the scope, nature and causes of student attrition at the level of institutions, programmes and gender. The findings revealed that the attrition rate at Ethiopian public universities manifests a high\u0000 level of wastage that goes against the national ambition of expanding higher education through wider participation and student success. Universities were found to be deficient in terms of tracking the progress of their students and developing a well-organised information system, hampering\u0000 their potential for follow-up and early interventions. It is argued that closer scrutiny and robust responses are needed both at policy and institutional levels in order to bring about the improvements sought.","PeriodicalId":90763,"journal":{"name":"Widening participation and lifelong learning : the journal of the Institute for Access Studies and the European Access Network","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81990834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the OU, we have a low percentage of students who\u0000 come from a black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME) background, ranging from 4% to 13% depending on their programme of study. However, due to the high student population at the Open University, that low percentage amounts to thousands of students. We were keen to hear from our BAME students,\u0000 as we are aware of a challenging awarding gap between these students and white students. We ran three focus groups with a total of ten students from a BAME background, and asked about issues such as being valued, inclusion, a sense of belonging and feeling represented. This was the first time\u0000 that BAME students had been asked about their views in this way. We found that although there were positive insights, students were uncomfortable engaging in forums, lacked a sense of belonging and did not feel represented in the curriculum. By encouraging these students to give voice to their\u0000 concerns, we heard, for the first time, some of the issues they are dealing with that need to be addressed.","PeriodicalId":90763,"journal":{"name":"Widening participation and lifelong learning : the journal of the Institute for Access Studies and the European Access Network","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91224954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
