A major new study finds academic selection at 10–11: • reinforces inequality • puts children under pressure • narrows the primary curriculum • offers little evidence of improved social mobility Selection concentrates advantage. It doesn’t create it. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

We are a week away from clearing and weeks away from the new University Term, Cambridge University, Glasgow & Durham, Roehampton & Liverpool John Moores & Jason Arday have done a sector already lacking in confidence no good at all. Students will be worried, parents worried. Cambridge, Glasgow & Durham wol Will be fine though. Its the Post-92s that will suffer.

We need to defend sociology after the Jason Arday fiasco. It is not a Mickey Mouse subject. It’s discipline that deepens our knowledge of how society works, says Lisa Mckenzie buff.ly/6w5T9B7

In defence of sociology

The Jason Arday fiasco threatens to undermine the discipline in which he ‘excelled’.
