The article focuses on the implications of the decline in university applications by mature students in Great Britain in 2012. Some Conservative Members of Parliament (MPs) set up a Fair Access to Universities Group (FAUG) in objection to the government's focus on recruiting younger students. 62% of respondents to a mature students survey conducted by Million+ and the National Union of Students (NUS) said that they had Level 3 qualifications before starting their university course.
