[Geo4All] Educational damage caused by Covid will mean poorer GCSE results for pupils well into the 2030s

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues


This research might be of interest to educators. Details below.


The report “A generation at risk: Rebalancing education in the post-pandemic era” was produced by Lee Elliot Major, Professor of Social Mobility at the University of Exeter; Andy Eyles; Professor Steve Machin from the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics; and Esme Lillywhite from the University of Strathclyde. It proposes several low-cost policies with the potential to improve children’s outcomes, including:


  *
A national programme of trained undergraduate student tutors helping to boost the foundational skills of pupils, and enabling undergraduates to consider a career in teaching.

  *
Rebalancing Ofsted inspections to explicitly focus on how schools are performing for pupils from under-resourced backgrounds and credit schools excelling when serving under-resourced communities.

  *   Rebalancing the school calendar to improve teacher wellbeing, prevent holiday hunger, improve pupil prospects and help parents with child-care during the long summer break.


Lee Elliot Major is the country’s first Professor of Social Mobility<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Elliot_Major>. Appointed by the University of Exeter to be a global leader in the field, his work is dedicated to improving the prospects of young people from under-resourced backgrounds.
