Latest DfE provisional statistics show that after four years of the English and maths resits policy, still less than two-fifths of young people make progress in E&M during the 16-18 phase. Our blog explores the implications of the policy for young people: buff.ly/2XJcY93

16-18 English and maths resits policy has the effect of reducing young people's attainment to whether or not they achieved grade 4 in E&M, obscuring the heterogeneity of learners and their varying needs and capabilities. Read more here: blogging2.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/miebee/english…

“Those who benefit least from the economy are most at risk from climate change. This means that we must embed rebalancing the economy into the green agenda. We can then turn a double-headed crisis into a double-headed solution” @SirBobKerslake on day 2 of #IGAction2019 conference

lots of take away from @IGAUnit #IGAction2019 - local people and local places have to be at the centre of what inclusive growth is, the way ideas are communicated matters, we need to value local knowledge, there are lots of good things happening that we can learn from + build on

Call for further devolution in @greatermcr from @AndyBurnhamGM: 👉 work & pensions budget 👉 further education spend ..and announces that UCAS system for apprenticeships coming to Greater Manchester in the new year 🙌 @IGAUnit #IGAction2019
