Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

Educational inequality is showing up in the latest data in ways that are harder to ignore. In 2025, students in the most disadvantaged schools were far more likely to fall behind in key learning benchmarks than their better resourced peers, even when considering student attendance. The gap is not just widening, it is shifting, and the figures raise uncomfortable questions about what changes actually help.
