“The fact that family background is still such a strong determinant of a child’s outcomes is an affront to a civilised, progressive society”

A famous cohort study of those born in 1970 showed
that bright children from lower
socio-economic groups quickly lost their initial
advantage…

Average rank of test scores at 22, 42, 60 & 120 months by SES of parents and early rank position
By age 10, a low SES child with an upper quartile score in cognitive development at
22 months is predicted to have fallen behind their high SES peers with a lower quartile
score.

A Matter of Life and DeathReports from the North of England
estimate that 1 in 7 long term NEETs are dead within a decade.
“For those who console ourselves with the thought that education is not
a matter of life and death, actually for those young people, for the most vulnerable children and young people
in our society, it really is.”

Teen Unemployment has a lasting effects…
Teenage unemployment leaves permanent scars, not temporary
blemishes:

6,550 permanent exclusions
363,280 fixed period exclusions.

So what? Does being excluded

Permanent Exclusions have Permanent Effects
“Of those who are excluded on a permanent basis, only 27% of primary age pupils and 15% of
secondary pupils return to mainstream education”
24

Who is at highest risk of exclusion?
Boys: x 3.5 (permanent)
Special Educational Needs: x 8+ (permanent)
Black Caribbean Pupils: x 3 (permanent)
Free School Meals Pupils: x 3 (fixed term or permanent)
Young people in care: x 10 (fixed term or permanent)

Education and the Economy“As the global economy changes, an economy’s prosperity will be driven
increasingly by its skills base”
35
Source: Leitch Review of Skills. 2006.
We need skills“Skills are a key lever within our control to improve
productivity in the workplace – one fifth or more of the UK’s productivity gap with countries such as
France and Germany results from the UK’s relatively poor skills.”
“Increasingly, skills are a key determinant of employment – less than half of those with no
qualifications are in work, compared to nearly 90 per cent of those with graduate level qualifications.”
36

We need futuristic skills!
A focus on 'high levels of skill and creativity' and 'technological change' are needed.
“We require a skills system that not only responds to demand but is also able to anticipate future growth
in the economy in areas such as low carbon or bioscience, or in those driven by broader
demographic change such as the care, hospitality and leisure sectors.”

Gaps in Access to Higher Education

16% of students at Russell Group universities are from lower socio-economics
backgrounds.
In 2008, out of over ½ a million applicants to higher education through UCAS, only 4.9%
were from students with a family background of routine occupations.
1/3 of admissions to Oxbridge came from 100 elite schools during the last 5 years.

3. Does such
inequality have a cost?
62
Yes.£1.3 trillion

How has that been calculated?
“Improving levels of social mobility for future generations in the UK would boost
the economy by up to £140 billion a year by 2050 in today’s prices – or an additional 4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over and
above any other growth.Overall the UK’s economy would see
cumulative gains of up to £1.3 trillion in GDP over the next 40 years.”
