The opportunities and life chances of a child born today are strongly linked to their parents’ socioeconomic background.
That's why we fight for social mobility from birth to the workplace so that every young person, no matter their background, has the chance to succeed 🚀
This blogpost is really worth reading. Gove expanded the issuing of penalties for non-attendance. But there is no reason for a draconian insistence on school attendance: there is no evidence that more attendance = better outcomes. New govt should undo Gove's macho showmanship.
Fines for term-time holidays are back in the news. Fixed penalties were introduced by Labour in 2003 to deal with persistent absences, Gove changed this to cover any absence, but as I argue here, without proper parliamentary scrutiny. whorunsbritain.blogs.lincoln…

More compassionate and inclusive 'behaviour' approaches on the way.
An educational psychologist as the new 'behaviour tsar'?!

I can hardly believe this @BBCNews , this fawning coverage of the opening of Parliament. Not a word about the absurdity of the monarchy.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit Education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in Education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in Education or Healthcare.
