Abstract

This piece reflects on the challenges of engaging ‘hard-to-reach’ students in higher education, urging a shift in focus towards relational teaching. It highlights the importance of building human connections and creating inclusive learning environments. The piece emphasises that universities must provide the necessary support and resources for lecturers to foster genuine human relationships, as learning is most effective when students feel valued and connected.
