History
It was established in 1993 by the UK higher education institutions.
HESA is a company limited by guarantee — a not-for-profit organisation which also has charitable status — whose members are Universities UK and GuildHE (formerly known as the Standing Conference of Principals).
Structure
HESA is based in Cheltenham in offices on the Promenade, just off the A46. The Chief Executive is Alison Allden, former Deputy Registrar at the University of Bristol
Some of its findings
50% target of participation at university
The British Labour government of 1997 to 2010 had an objective that 50% of young people should attend university in an effort to improve social mobility. Other political parties did not share this aim, viewing it as idealistic. In October 2009,HESA found that although student numbers had increased, the social background of those entering had not changed. 50% of the 2009 intake had parents from managerial or professional backgrounds, with only 4% from backgrounds of (working class) routine occupations. No students came from backgrounds of being long-term unemployed.
HESA regularly publishes press releases detailing other findings,and their website lists where their data is used by the media.
