Absolutely brilliant to see the launch of this hugely important report from @thedifferenceed.bsky.social @ippr.bsky.social The report provides 10 recommendations to improve our school system for all. Informed by input from a Solutions Council, the recommendations are based on real expertise.

Title slide to report: Finding Solutions to the School Engagement Crisis.

Slide with text: "To turn the tide of lost learning, the education system must evolve. It must put inclusion at the heart of everything it does. If delivered well, whole school inclusion could transform outcomes for a generation of children."

First recommendation slide, with text: "The sector needs a shared definition of measurable school inclusion: 'all staff supporting the learning, wellbeing and safety needs of all children, so that they belong, achieve and thrive.'"

Final recommendation slide with text: "All pupil movements should be equally visible and accountable. Government should introduce legislation that provides oversight of pupil movements off site and off roll."

New! 10 recommendations to tackle lost learning
