The 11+ is tragic, so watch the film from the 1st Dec if you fancy😅Most important are the people who can't reach their potential because of it.

An overdone and ineffective policy to re-engage disaffected young people. Children will now do compulsory tests in 7/14 years of their schooling. The constant exam-ification of our schools doesn't get us anywhere; tackling the root of why these young people are disillusioned does

Deeply predictable. We don't have SATs data for last year's GCSE students (Covid) so can't record progress as normal. Suddenly, when schools are ranked on raw attainment, not progress, grammars surge to the top. Just reinforces that grammars add no more value than other schools.

After years of hard work building up an organisation that promotes nothing but inclusivity and making a positive change - @instagram and @Meta have decided to permanently delete our account without any explanation. This is heartbreaking for our volunteers who have worked so

Via the Guardian letters page. We didn't set this up!

Maintenance grants will only go to students studying 'priority courses aligned with the govt's missions'. This is sad: it reinforces a transactional relationship with HE institutions, where the only point is to receive a passport into the labour market. https://t.co/MiBA0bP1CD

Corey Jeavons was invited along to Marlow Road on Thursday to meet the lads he'll be walking out with at Adams Park on Saturday 🤝 The three-year-old underwent heart surgery in August and we're proud to be raising funds for the @NEWSFORTOFS charity: https://t.co/RVSm5TchOK

#OTD Tuesday 21st September 2021 4️⃣ years ago! Brandon Hanlan gives Wycombe Wanderers the lead away to Manchester City in the Football LeagueCup. What a moment 🙌🙌🙌

Thought this striking: using last weeks voting intention by school type. Big Reform lead among those who went to a state school, Tories best result among grammar school alum & Labour actually have a fairly big lead among private school attendees, consistent in other recent polls

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on @FIFAWorldCup to put game over greed.

✍️ Teachers, governors & education professionals: sign our open letter to phase out the 11-plus. Children deserve equal, inclusive schools. https://t.co/4ZiXop7xua

From first to last goal - thank you for the memories @gmccleary12 💙

Read it! It’s a man-made famine, it’s because Israel block aid, and an Israeli Minister has SAID they want to eradicate the whole of Gaza City. This is the worst of humanity and it’s unforgivable if govts take anything other than the starkest of measures - albeit far too late

Famine has been confirmed in Gaza, with over half a million facing starvation, destitution and death. We have been warning about this impending tragedy for months. The UK can't say they didn't know this would happen. All available evidence indicates that the Government of

@Cambridge_Uni 🤝This meant more students saw their relationship with school as transactional - they attended school in exchange for being able to perform well in their GCSEs and move on to their next steps 📈But behaviour tended to improve, perhaps as more pupils took their studies seriously

@Cambridge_Uni 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Families knew they were important and teachers' jobs rested on the performance of their students. 👦Above all, the pupils knew GCSEs were important - for further study, employment, and, in the words of one child, to have a 'good life'. They dictated one's position in society.

@Cambridge_Uni 🧐The education landscape also changed from the 1980s, which altered how schools operated day-to-day... 🎖️League tables were published and public Ofsted reports for each school were published for the first time - both of which impacted how much funding a school received.

@Cambridge_Uni 🎓But Higher Education was booming - in 1967, 12% of school leavers went to uni - by the 2000s, this was 43%. 👨‍🎓More places + more aspirations to uni + more qualified school leavers (in part due to GCSE) + a changing job market = more students going to university!
