50 years of educational reforms have failed to make a significant improvement to the exam results of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, says a major new report.
An estimated one in five school leavers has few or no qualifications and poor skills in basic literacy and numeracy. No school in a disadvantaged area has ever matched the performance of a school in a more affluent area.
Many children begin to fall behind in early secondary: "This has been apparent for at least 40 years. Yet decisive action has never been taken."
