📚 Education in the #autumnbudget 📚

10 years of progress in closing the gap between poorer and richer children has reversed post-pandemic 📉

The government must support young people to catch up on lost learning.

Cuts to education budgets risk further widening the gap.

1 million plastic bottles are sold around the world per minute, adding to the plastic pollution that ends up in our landfills and oceans.

We can all make a difference if we simply bring our own refillable bottle. Log your climate action: https://t.co/7bNx4pKOW3

.@IWFM_UK : is it fit for purpose? Is it sustainable after years of making losses and losing around half its members along the way. https://t.co/6xlIQglq0A

[David Emanuel @davidifm]

Accounts have just been filed for @IWFM_UK - another year of losses -£125K, 2.7x higher than the previous year - no profit since 2017, reserves diminished - staying afloat on CBIL loans. Surely the board need to take action before its too late and #facman has no institute.

There is no doubt learning loss has disproportionately affected disadvantaged pupils. They lacked digital access, had less time with teachers, did not have quiet spaces to work, and were less likely to have tutors or parents who could guide home learning.

A must-read thread about Sir Peter Lampl, the founder of our friend @suttontrust, and his passion for improving social mobility in the UK⬇️

The key behavioural code at the top-grades of the Civil Service revolves around mastery of ‘studied neutrality’.

Those from disadvantaged backgrounds told us are often intimidated and alienated by these unwritten rules.

[Social Mobility Commission @SMCommission]

Our interviews with over 100 civil servants found those from working class backgrounds frequently feel misread as aggressive, loud or too passionate.

📽️ Commissioner @saeedatcha explains what it takes to get a top job in the Civil Service and how they are setting an example for other employers.

Civil servants who get promoted are more likely to have policy roles, work in departments near the political centre of power like the Treasury, and live in London.

Summer schools are a good start for supporting students and bridging inequalities, but are not the only solution.

We are calling for the government to introduce a 16-19 Student Premium, allowing schools to invest in helping disadvantaged learners catch-up on lost learning.
