Jo Blanden (CEP), @GillWyness.bsky.social (CEP), @Opmc1.bsky.social (UCL) and @LindseyMacmillan.bsky.social could explain why private school pupils are more likely to end up in higher-ranked HE courses than peers with similar grades.

Elite school students end up in better universities than expected, based on their grades | British Politics and Policy at LSE
Students of private and grammar schools are over-represented in elite universities, but only part of that is explained by better grades.

I regularly come back to this graph when talking to people about how we’re in a really different world now.

And important to note that these are for EHCP only. There will be many more young people with SEND for these conditions, but no EHCP

Essential @nuffieldfoundation.org funded note by @theifs.bsky.social on England's SEND system - highly topical this autumn. Here's the growth in the number of EHCPs over the last decade+.

We should not accept 1 in 8 of our 16-24 year olds shut out of learning or earning. Dreadful for young people, economy & society.

Purposeful government can make a difference - but it will require learning lessons, real focus & new resource. Me in the @financialtimes.com

We must clear a path for young people outside full-time education
As GCSE results land, we should realise that training alongside decent work is a better next step for some 16-year-olds

A level results are out! And as many have reported, there was an overall improvement in the proportion of students gaining the top grades.

But its not good news for everyone: with London & the South East continuing to pull away from the rest of the country, and boys slightly ahead of girls.

The thing to note here is that this is the gap in offer rates among employers who agreed to participate in this super-important research…

Those who are at least aware there may be issues and probably have policies and training in place
lindseymacmillan.bsky.social
Lindsey Macmillan @lindseymacmillan.bsky.social · Mar 6
🔸 Even when comparing candidates who look similar on paper, lower SEB applicants are still 18% less likely to get an offer than those from professional backgrounds

🔸 Half of the gap in offer rates for low SEB applicants occur at the online stage while the other half occur at face-to-face stage

New study: The relative wage premium for going to college has halved for low-income Americans since 1960.

What is to blame? Rising selectivity? Tuition hikes? State disinvestment? We decompose changes in the premium since 1900 to find out.

Ok I promised myself I’d do it:

Dear conference organizers,
Please plan a lactation room at the conference venue.
And indicate it on the program.
Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s awkward to have to ask.
It’s awkward to pump in a random office where everyone can enter.
It’s awkward for everybody involved.

New stats out today from DfE give us our first comprehensive look at take-up of the new early education entitlements. Very interesting reading, including a potentially concerning fall in take-up for disadvantaged 2-yr-olds. We've been doing some digging and will have more to say over next few days.

What a journey! It’s not even about the win, although 😭. It’s my girl (who hates football) putting on a kit and playing with a ball all week. And my boys cheering on the team more than they even do the mens. These girls are changing the world and I am delighted to watch the influence they have 🦁🦁🦁
