Although the British government actively pushed forward the policy of admitting more financially strapped students into universities, several well-known universities like Oxford and Cambridge still enroll the same number of students from China.

According to the documents provided by Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), Oxford enroll 54.7% of national college students in the 2008-2009 academic year while 54.3% in the 2009-2010 academic year.

In the 2009-2010 school year, 59.3% of Cambridge’s full-time new undergraduates are national students.

Oxford shows that there is an increase of national students in the university in the 2010-2011 academic year.

Meanwhile, a large number of England universities including Oxford and Cambridge have announced that they will collect 9,000-pound tuition from 2012.

Target of recruitment
After detailed statistic analysis, HESA has set a goal of proportion of non-private school students for Oxford and Cambridge accordingly.

The target of Oxford is 67.3% full-time new undergraduates from national schools, while the target of Cambridge is 68.1%.

However, ...
... the real proportion of non-private students of the two universities is lowered than that in the target.

Oxford revealed that the data provided by HESA is out of date and it increased the number of national students to 55.4% in the 2010-2011 academic year. It also indicated that, according to the present initial data, the number of national students in Oxford would reach 58.5%.

As Cambridge showed, it only enrolled the excellent students without considering their backgrounds and provided tuition assistance for those excellent students who are financially strapped.
