𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐨𝐧? The north-south divide is at an all time high, with the government recently listing 55 'coldspots' for education, with many of these being in the north of the country. Dudley, Middlesborough, and Oldham were among 3 of these 'coldspots' with the weakest education outcomes, meaning students were leaving with lower prospects than the rest of the country. However, the DfE recently approved plans with Eton College and Star Academies for a partnership of 3 sixth forms to be built in these towns to increase the engagement with education in these areas. Eton will fund £1 million a year per college on top of current funding levels, with the aim of helping students from deprived backgrounds in the north secure places at top universities. It's great to see Eton recognise their own privilege and the north-south divide to help children from deprived areas receive extra funding. Is this just a PR stunt for Eton or a step in the right direction?

There were mulitple reports out of New York last week about 9 community colleges facing concerns about their accreditation status. Most of the concerns revolved around enrollment and finances. So, I created a community college version of the TOP/Bottom reports. The enrollment trends are really bad and there are interesting patterns in the ways some New York community colleges are allocating their funds. https://lnkd.in/gsz5jTX6 #collegeviability #topbottomreports #cvapp #newyorkcolleges #communitycolleges #communitycollegeenrollment
