An exciting new opportunity has become available for a consultant or consultancy with expertise in quantitative data analysis, as part of a unique project that aims to improve understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the awarding gap between disadvantaged learners and their peers.

In response to the rapid shift to online teaching and learning that took place when the pandemic hit in March 2020, TASO is seeking to answer the research question: when pure face-to-face learning is not possible, what is the best way of structuring higher education (HE) courses to minimise equality gaps?

TASO has obtained institutional data from one partner Higher Education Provider (HEP) and would like up to eight days of support to deliver the analysis of this data and an analysis report as a final deliverable.

This project is funded by the Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO). The budget for the analysis is between £5,000 – £7,000 (inclusive of VAT).
