100% agree, and exacerbated by socio economic backgrounds. This is why we work with young people from rural and coastal areas - enabling them to access work experience, employability skills and professional networks. #socialmobility
The research takes a closer look at young people's perceptions of the opportunities they can access locally. In addition to differences between regions, we also found differences in perceptions of local opportunities for training and jobs between urban and rural areas.

" students from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds (SES) were less willing to travel for university, which was linked to the financial risks and emotional costs associated with attending distant universities." James Robson, University of Oxford

Figures show that 7.5 per cent of state school pupils in one London borough got into Oxford or Cambridge last year – up from just 1 per cent five years before

This is such an eloquent account of trying to change who you are just to fit in with the dominant culture. Universities and workplaces need to become more diverse and value everyone, whatever their background. #socialmobility

After years of changing myself to fit in at school, university and work, I’ve accepted that I don’t fit the mould – and that it’s OK, says writer and podcast host Dhruti Shah

Enjoying #ISEedi23 - great to hear that @RollsRoyce would like to see #socialmobility measured like the gender pay gap

Looking forward to tomorrow's Equity in Education book launch in London hosted by the brilliant @SocialMobilityF. Equity is about doing more for pupils who have faced extra barriers to learning, and working with them not doing things to them. Must move away from deficit approach!
How do we level that playing field of learning? Look no further than @Lem_Exeter’s book, which includes studies that show teachers may act differently towards children from working class backgrounds; showing less warmth, giving less eye contact & lower-quality feedback. 4/11

NEW: Social mobility continues to fall – and moving up is harder if you grow up in the North or Midlands. Read Laura van der Erve, Sonya Krutikova, @lindsey_mac & @David_Sturrock's IFS Deaton Review of Inequalities commentary, funded by @NuffieldFound:

'It may be harder now than at any point in over half a century to move up the distribution if you are born in a position of disadvantage' Interesting findings from @TheIFS! This is why The Talent Tap are here to help...
“It may be harder now than at any point in over half a century to move up" UK social mobility is at its worst in over 50 years according to @TheIFS, reports @RJPartington for @guardian What part, if any, does private education play in social immobility? https://t.co/eQBn0VMVZj

🚨 Only 7% of the UK population are educated privately, but nearly 40% of those in top jobs went to a private school. Our research shows how privately educated pupils are heavily overrepresented in top positions in the most competitive sectors ⤵️ https://t.co/R7HMnOyp6Z

Interesting find @LSEImpactBlog showing that universities outside of the Russell Group institutions drive social mobility more. As shown, 40% of disadvantaged graduates from Russell Group universities become top earners. However, 54% of top earners were privately educated!
🗃️From the archive: Despite the focus on Russell Group institutions as drivers of social mobility, it is actually universities outside this group that are contributing most strongly to social mobility #HigherEd

As a social mobility charity, we welcome Starmer's pledge to improve the access that our young people have to top jobs. Raising the profile of oracy is a welcome move! https://t.co/yk7z07QSWV

A huge thank you to @Paragon_Brokers for hosting some of our students last night!🌟 The M&A event was an exceptional opportunity for our students to listen in on all things mergers and acquisitions, and allowed our students to broaden their perspectives. #MergersAndAcquisition

Witnessing The Talent Tap students being granted the extraordinary opportunity to meet Tony Blair at @InstituteGC is truly remarkable. It is a testament to the strength and significance of our collaboration and our joint values that Tony Blair prioritised meeting our students.
