Education Policy: Evidence of Equity and Effectiveness

By Stephen Gorard

What has been done to achieve fairer and more efficient education systems, and what more can be done in the future?

Stephen Gorard provides a comprehensive examination of crucial policy areas for education, such as differential outcomes, the poverty gradient, and the allocation of resources to education, to identify likely causes of educational disadvantage among students and lifelong learners. This analysis is supported by 20 years of extensive research, based in the home countries of the UK and on work in all EU28 countries, USA, Pakistan and Japan.
