Commission launched to investigate inequality in schools
A new commission by the Social Market Foundation (SMF) has been launched to examine the cause and effect of ‘Inequality in Education’.
The commission will be led by former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who will be joined by MP’s Suella Fernandes and Stephen Kinnock. They will also be joined by Sam Freedman, executive director of programmes at Teach First and Becky Allen, director of Education Datalab.
Clegg highlighted that new initial research from the group suggests regional differences in attainment have worsened in some areas over the last decade.
He said: “What is now becoming clear is that inequality in education comes in many shapes and sizes.
“It is not just the relative wealth of parents that holds large numbers of bright kids back: it is postcode inequality too.”
