There’s been growing concern about boys falling behind in school. We previously reported that the GCSE gender gap is narrowing, but new data paints a more complex picture.
In this thread, we explore what’s behind the shift—and why it may be too soon to celebrate. 🧵

Disadvantaged kids are absent from school more often, increasing the ‘disadvantage gap’ in results. Important research from @EduPolicyInst out today.

Is there a better decomposition of what's going on with the gap in educational disadvantage? Brilliant visualisation by @DavidR0bins0n.

We find that by age 16, disadvantaged pupils are almost 19 months behind their peers. But this gap would reduce to 15 months of learning if school attendance was the same for all pupils. And when we look at changes over 2019-2023, absence fully explains the gap-widening over time
