Screenshot-2018-4-23 The GardianThe proportion of schools with 50% or higher of low-impact long-term disadvantaged (most minority ethnic) pupils is 7% in London and 63% in the north. They conclude that to close the gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged groups action should focus on: pupils who are the most disadvantaged (and particularly those eligible for FSM for 90% or more of their time in schools); groups where the impact of disadvantage is high (mainly white pupils); schools where the proportion of minority ethnic pupils in the cohort is lower than 50%.

Grade grubbers are simply preparing for the real world

Screenshot-2018-4-23 The GardianAcademics report that “grade grubbing” (the practice of university students trying to negotiate better grades) is on the rise. Some tutors put this down to parents overpraising their children, turning them into fully fledged narcissists, who feel so precious, gifted and talented that they can’t deal with a world or a marking system that doesn’t agree with their own appraisal of themselves.

Accès à l’université : les points litigieux… ne sont pas dans la loi !

The ConversationDans une dizaine d’universités, des blocages sont venus pénaliser le fonctionnement du service public pour protester contre la réforme de l’admission à l’université. Mais très vite, les revendications se sont éloignées du leur cause initiale pour dénoncer pêle-mêle les atteintes au statut de cheminot, la situation du peuple kurde, l’expulsion des zadistes de Notre Dame des Landes… ou même réclamer l’abolition du capitalisme.
