I'm excited to be part of this. The intersection of EdTech and income access is crucial. If tech isn't accessible to all, we risk widening existing inequalities and creating new ones. Tech should bridge divides, not reinforce them. #EdTech #DfE #DigitalDivide www.tes.com/magazine/new...

A must-read from one of the most sensible, nuanced and compassionate leaders in the system. Certain figures could take a leaf from his book when it comes to the rhetoric around school attendance.

"Poor attendance is rarely the problem… it’s the symptom." Lots of food for thought here.

I'm feeling quite relaxed about the #JamesBond news As a lifelong Bond fan I'm maintaining optimism. Here's to a new chapter @AmazonMGMStudio let's see new stories told (just don't kill him this time!) #NoTimeToMoan #TomorrowNeverDies #LicenseToEntertain

Rising employment has helped to reduce the share of income poorer households get from social security benefits. Across the bottom fifth of the income distribution, this has fallen from 59 per cent in 1994-95 to 46 per cent in 2010-11, and 33 per cent in 2022-23.

The dots are not difficult to join. Gove is editor of Spectator & in the space of 2 weeks, outlandish double attack from favourite Head, attack from favourite former CEO, NSN recreates itself as campaign group to oppose school reform, Toby Young enters Lords. Debate is good & so is transparency.

🗣️ "It would benefit probably about 1 million additional children." We're calling on the Government to expand free school meals eligibility so that it covers all families who receive universal credit. More from @beckymontacute.bsky.social on the costings of this policy ⬇️

Research shouldn't be something exclusive to those organisations that brand themselves as research schools. It also shouldn't only be something carried out by those with the time and expertise to do it. Curiosity can also be cost free #Research #Curiosity #ReadMoreBelow
