Excited to have launched our latest report today on Universal Opportunity. It’s clear that the UK has a problem with social mobility and young people are paying a high price. We call for a series of recommendations so that every young person can build a decent life.

Poorer children, children known to social services, those with school-identified special educational needs, and children from ethnic minority backgrounds disproportionately experience school exclusions. 📻 @efuapokuamanfo.bsky.social on BBC Radio 4 👇

Today @IPPR and @TheDifferenceEd launch our second report on lost learning - outlining 10 solutions to keep children in class. We found that for every child excluded, 10 or more are “invisibly” moved out of the school setting. See more below www.ippr.org/articles/who...

Children cannot learn if they are not in school and are not engaged. Lost learning is impacting a large – and growing – group of children, with those living in poverty being hit the hardest. 📻#ICYMI: @efuapokuamanfo.bsky.social on BBC Radio 4 Today 👇

As @efuapokuamanfo.bsky.social on @bbc5live.bsky.social says, this is a crisis we cannot afford to ignore.

New analysis - primary school suspensions rate have doubled over the past decade. Unsurprisingly much of this data reiterates what we published in our Who is Losing Learning Report, in particular that children with SEND at higher risk of suspension. 👇🏾 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was great to work with @mission44 on developing policy recommendations for this brilliant campaign. #PreventExclusions www.preventingexclusions.com/about-the-ca...
