How can actors of pre-higher education sector be best informed about what is required to succeed in higher education? What information do school learners need in order to make informed choices about pursuing higher education (or not)? What information do school teachers, school councelors, parents, and others who can help school learners make better choices find useful? How and when and from whom do they want to receive such information? 

What are higher education institutions already doing to try and support learners and all the other key actors of pre-higher education sector in this process? What further recommendations can the key actors involved in these first stages of transition give to higher education institutions?

The text you can download on this page gives some answers to these questions in the hope to stimulate further discussions, explorations, research and – most importantly – better communication and cooperation between the two sectors – collaboration aimed at making sure higher education and secondary education sectors work together on helping young people make informed choices and – if these young people decide to pursue higher education studies – start their higher education studies better prepared, and not only in terms of the subject-knowledge, so to speak.
