South-West Social Mobility Commission

A win-win-win model! 🌟 Today at the Commission, we’re celebrating the success of the Learning for Teaching module and the Exeter Tutoring model. Our undergraduate tutors boost the basic literacy of school pupils, gaining work experience and credits towards their degree, forming invaluable relationships with pupils, while considering a career in teaching. This module is perfect for anyone looking for a practical experience helping those in the local community. More information can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eTGzQxpf

Research from the South-West Social Mobility Commission suggests that children from the lowest income backgrounds in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset perform worse than their peers elsewhere 📉 They found that more 5-year-olds lack school readiness, while 11 year-olds and 19-year olds are less likely to meet basic educational milestones at the end of primary school or 16-18 education. 🔗 in the comments to find out more. #schools #southwest #education

'The tech industry is crucial to the South-West, with just two tech employers surpassing the entire output of the region's fishing industry. The South-West is home to nearly 18,000 tech companies supporting 170,000 employees.' However, ensuring all young people, especially from under-resourced backgrounds, have better pathways into digital careers is going to be essential in the region’s changing landscape, and has the potential to address the South-West’s chronic economic and social challenges, as is explored in our new report ‘The Tech Frontier: Shaping the Future of the South-West Peninsula’  Authored by, and in partnership with Henry Jones Lee Elliot-Major OBE Anne-Marie Sim & The Hg Foundation.
