@ChrEaston Interesting implication of Martin's argument is almost certainly 'no' in answer to that question: the universal right to free post-secondary ed is justified to support autonomy for all across a life which I imagine would flatten hierarchies of post-secondary ed considerably

This by @Samfr is sensitive and smart and absolutely worth reading (if you can - paywall).

But I think it's let down a little by the headline - schools already do a lot to reduce inequalities. (COVID home learning gave us a taste of how much more unequal things could be.) (1/3)

[Christine Farquharson @ckfarquharson]

A huge topic, and hard to distil even into a 100-page report!

Our guiding principles include looking at the whole system, following up early intervention, looking beyond test scores, and recognising that educational inequalities reflect wider inequalities in society.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Educational inequalities aren't just between poor and the rest. Every step up the income distribution is associated with better educational outcomes.

Even when poorer pupils meet benchmark levels of attainment (eg 5 "good" GCSEs) they very rarely do really well (A or A* grades)

[Philip Cook @Philip_A_Cook]

@TheIFS @PJTheEconomist @ckfarquharson Excellent event, looking forward to reading the reports

Find out why I joined 100 scholars and activists in calling on the @ILO_Childlabour to change course in its campaign to #endchildlabour2021; wrongful child labour should be abolished, but not all child labour is wrongful https://t.co/WFOkItM7CS https://t.co/M4Z8XvUWHp
