The @rsc.org “Beyond Access” report shows socioeconomic background shapes the UK chemistry pipeline from UG to early careers

Socioeconomic background is not a marginal factor, it is foundational #BeyondAccess #SEIinChemistry #ChemSky

Inequality is structural, not just access - rsc.li/beyond-access

Led by Prof. Karen Soldatic, this groundbreaking research program prioritizes community-driven, preventative well-being over outdated, siloed approaches. 🌾🌐 #BeyondAccess

What comes next is crucial. Success will mean moving from awareness to sustained, coordinated action so all chemical scientists can feel they belong and can progress and thrive, regardless of background #BeyondAccess #SEIinChemistry

Getting into a chemistry degree is only the start. Our new Beyond Access report looks at how socioeconomic background impacts progression, retention and belonging for UG chemistry students in the UK: https://rsc.li/4eC5i16 #SEIinChemistry #BeyondAccess #ChemSky

The @rsc.org report highlights where inequities persist across the chemistry pipeline #BeyondAccess #SEIinChemistry

The recommendations are intended as practical actions to address the issues identified. This is a starting point, not an endpoint #ChemSky

Personally related to this. I was not the first in family to go to university. I got my degrees at a polytechnic! It is a shame to observe things have got worse since the end of the last century. So much potential being unfulfilled within swaths of our population #beyondaccess #SEIinChemistry

We often focus on getting more students into chemistry, but what happens after they arrive matters just as much #BeyondAccess #SEIinChemistry

Socioeconomic background continues to shape opportunity, confidence & career progression long after entry into higher education @rsc.org
