I'd be interested to know the state money per pupil per year as well. Finland has a very different approach to learning than we do for example that, on the face of it, would mean far less money needs to be spent to get their outstanding results. They had a conventional system which got conventional...

PISA has been designed with one particular method of data analysis in mind. Since students work on different test booklets, raw scores must be 'scaled' to allow meaningful comparisons. Scores are thus scaled so that the OECD average in each domain (mathematics, reading and science) is 500 and the st...

"Popular" is an interesting one, but regardless I'd regard him as divisive too so as many people hate as like. A clown that gives funny bumbling interviews and goes on HIGNFY will be well known and even "popular" but I don't know if he would be a vote winner that wins over new voters beyond the tra...

I've not praised Blair's overall legacy, I said his domestic one was pretty good.

What would he say if somebody like Nigel Farage said, "The UK does not need any more black MPs"?

I imagine he would say that this is a false equivalence in a very instructive way.
