Pupils in England ‘facing worst exam results in decades’ after Covid closures

Pupils in England ‘facing worst exam results in decades’ after Covid closures

25 April 2024  

GCSE results in key subjects to steadily worsen until 2030, predicts research that blames the failure to tackle the impact of schools lockdown

Children in England could face the worst exam results in decades and a lifetime of lower earnings, according to research that blames failures to tackle the academic and social legacies of school closures during Covid.

The study funded by the Nuffield Foundation predicts that national GCSE results in key subjects will steadily worsen until 2030, when it expects fewer than 40% of pupils to get good grades in maths and English.

Lee Elliot Major, a professor of social mobility at Exeter University and one of the report's co-authors, said: Without a raft of equalising policies, the damaging legacy from Covid school closures will be felt by generations of pupils well into the next decade.

The report recommends low-cost policies to improve results, such as recruiting undergraduates to work as tutors, and rebalancing the school year by shortening the summer break and spreading holidays more evenly throughout the year.
