What is the Reversal of RAE Advantage? 🤔
How does it relate to the Underdog Hypothesis?
Is it more/less likely than Regression to the Mean?

@hayek_tendency Just a Q. Demographics will have some impact. Headline %s from articles that don't offer a balanced perspective/context imo are less persuasive.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@EducationNotTax Do you also have an explainer to show what % of IS financial resources go to each? And how the balance between scholarships & bursaries may have changed over the last 25 years? Thx.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@rwoolfy29 @hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl So why not reduce the overall spend on scholarships & increase the number of bursaries for poorer kids? The narrative of the paper seems to be that over recent years funding has partially been diverted from bursaries into scholarships... maybe to retain/attract pupils?

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@rwoolfy29 @hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl Agree data could be better but it may be the only data publicly available.

This is the rub. If scholarships are financially meaningless then you can't criticise the data accuracy for 'eliding' bursaries & scholarships.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@rwoolfy29 @hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl Not sure. That would explain the 30%, 18% & 17% figures. Of the 65% of households where income could be defined 1-3 deciles received 17% of discounted fees, 4-6 18% & 7-9 (10??) received 30%. 35% of awards were made to households of unknown income.

@hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl I guess independent school bodies (ISC?) could provide more comprehensive, audited data if they wished?

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl I suspect bursaries genuinely do widen access but perhaps have begun to have a relatively smaller effect than in the past. Imho including scholarships in the analysis as a financial 'benefit' IS credible. Its probably v diff to access better data. They have used best available?

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl Well it's actually 30% to high earners & the authors claim that figure to be based on the actual financial value, not the number of awards, suggesting *lots* of relatively small value scholarship 'awards' going to the highest earners... something difficult to rationally ignore.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl But surely schools must allocate enough of their budget via scholarships (not necessarily as direct fee support) to *distort* the paper's figures and hence why you describe it as 'dishonest'.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl So if scholarships are not fee support & are minimal, why is there an issue with the paper combining scholarships with bursaries for the data analysis please?

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl Please can you explain the 17%, 18% & 30% figures that are attributed to lower, middle & higher income brackets? These values aren't explicit in the original paper.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@hayek_tendency @PEPForum @IOE_London @ucl Isn't a scholarship also fee support?

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

There is a total established link between power, political power, capital, tech giants and AI. And the purpose of this is undermining democracy.

That's the goal because the people who are developing this stuff are against democracy.

I met Sam Altman a couple of years ago. I spent hours with him and at the end of the discussion I said to him, "You have created a monster."

And he said, "Yes, and now it's up to you to find out how to deal with it."

@SAAdvantage No. Part of the beauty of sport is the tactical battle between players trying to understand the game/opposition players. Following notes or sideline suggestions turns them into unthinking robots.

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@Madz_Grant @medc3005 So how is the study dishonest by conflating bursaries & scholarships if the discouning of scholarships compared to bursaries doesn't make much of a difference?

[Rob Reed 📅 🏏 @NoThirdMan]

@BJones81533 @Madz_Grant @medc3005 Bursaries target lower income deciles.
Scholarships seem to be for everyone.
If schools 'spent' relatively more on bursaries than scholarships compared to the current 'balance', it would have more impact on those on relatively low income, imo.

@BJones81533 @Madz_Grant @medc3005 With respect you have provided two answers to your own questions, not mine. 👍
