Intervene pre-GCSE, study says
Article Abstract:
Helping to raise the aspirations and attainment of students before they sit their GCSE exams will have a greater impact on their likelihood of going to university than intervention later in their education, according to research conducted by academics at the Institute of Education and the London School of Economics. The research also revealed that the number of children from middle-income and affluent homes entering higher education increased more rapidly than those from poorer backgrounds during the period between 1994-1995 and 2001-2002.
