The UK’s two main political parties both want to improve the nation’s numeracy. But what’s the evidence on the long-term returns to maths education? Our new policy briefing outlines the evidence from the CLS cohorts ➡️ bit.ly/3RQXNaM

You may impute the past but don’t impute the dead - the sequel. How to use the rich data of BCS70 to reduce bias from selective attrition and restore sample representativeness 👇
UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies@CLScohorts12 Mar 2024
Non-response in longitudinal surveys is often selective, which can lead to bias. New work by @MK_statistics & coauthors addresses this issue in the #1970BritishCohortStudy, capitalising on the richness of the data to restore sample representativeness: bit.ly/49OGluy 1/5

How will private schools respond if they have to include VAT in their fees? Our Deputy Director @jakeanders comments in @GuardianEdu theguardian.com/education/20… @IOE_London @IoeResearch @uclnews

‘It feels cynical’: how would Labour’s VAT policy affect private schools?

Party and many economists back plan but niche schools such as Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain say they could struggle

Why greater investment in early years is a no-brainer for the Chancellor As Jeremy Hunt prepares to announce changes to childcare in England @claire_l_crawf & @LAOuthwaite of @CEPEO_UCL provide an analysis of the need for reform. Read ▶️ bit.ly/3yEJLiB

Interesting that the Chancellor badges childcare reforms as "education" but the motivations are entirely driven by work incentives #Budget2023

NEW: response to #Budget2023 childcare reforms from @claire_l_crawf @LAOuthwaite Bottom line: good for working families, potentially good for economy, bad for inequalities. Not enough detail on funding rates. High quality provision vital. More here: tinyurl.com/4ubj48d5

Thanks @BenChu_ @BBCNewsnight for having me on. Our recent @CEPEO_UCL evidence review concludes relaxing ratios would be "a risk with uncertain rewards": tinyurl.com/23wvsxt8. Evidence supports greater investment, but how much and for whom? New briefing note coming soon...
