Loved working in the intersection of heath and edu policy for this one. In recent years many LAs have restricted the opening of new fast food outlets near schools. However more evidence is needed to inform these policies and (🤞) to defend them in the courts. So we're working on that evidence!

It’s great to now have this evidence. It also shows why ministerial/HMT demands for more evidence before approving spending can be misguided. As @instituteforgovernment.org.uk previously argued it takes at least 5yrs to gather evidence for big preventive programmes. Ministers need to show leadership

There are some real positive signs in the latest ITT recruitment data of improvement vs last year, especially in secondary. I will hold off updating the forecast until tomorrow, when targets are published. But it's interesting to see where the growth is and isn't coming from...🧵

My new report with @smfthinktank.bsky.social shows that 1 in 6 ‘apprentices’ are now university graduates, while the number of entry-level apprenticeships (aimed at school and college leavers) has collapsed from 260,650 in 2017 to 70,840 in 2024. Find out more here: bit.ly/3DXrd2S

Fascinating paper by Claudia Goldin on drivers of low fertility in advanced economies. Countries where economic progress outstrips social progress (in particular, gender equality in household division of labour) see the most rapid falls in fertility.. www.nber.org/papers/w33311

In 2020 and 2021, the Department for Education in England implemented widely controversial policies on student grading, and in-so-doing laid bare some of the deep tensions and inequalities in our existing system. This week I published a book chapter on it: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/education....
