@educationgovuk 6% increase in teachers
11% increase in students

Thanks with this post for confirming what we all suspected...

"Girls' schools foster a lack of stereotyping and a genuine sense of individuality, where students are just as comfortable raising their hand in chemistry as they are on the hockey field." https://t.co/EA6IfREJBs @standardnews @GSAUK

This is such a measured and excellent read - highly recommend. Tackles head on the unquestioning belief held by so many parents that a place in the 'best' school will ensure their child's future success and happiness.

So sad to see how children are increasingly limited in their independence, and it can't be blamed on social media this time!

[Parkinson's UK @ParkinsonsUK]

Up to 80% of people with Parkinson's experience dyskinesia as a side effect of some Parkinson's medication.

But early results from research suggest new hope for a treatment which could improve quality of life for people with Parkinson's.

3 great examples of positive sporting behaviours - do other sports have a similar award? @bbctms

[Test Match Special @bbctms]

Nepal wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh has won the Christopher Martin-Jenkins Spirit of Cricket Award.

He’s recognised for his act of sportsmanship in an IT20 v Ireland.

England's Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes were also highly commended by judges.

@ParkinsonsUK I don't see how to vote?

[Neil Walker @Necktar7]

Not OK - somehow we have to fight against the rise of objectification and violence becoming normalised @menagainstvawg

[Men Against VAWG @menagainstvawg]

This is incredibly serious, nearly half of those surveyed think girls expect sex to involve sexual aggression, including strangulation.
This sets expectations of what girls/women feel they have to like & boys/men who think it's ok.
