Action from "across society" is needed to help improve the educational outcomes of white working-class children, the co-chair of an independent inquiry looking into the issue has said.
The inquiry's first report, published this summer, concluded that once-in-a-generation reforms were needed to fix a system "not serving the interests of white working-class children".
The next phase will focus on early years children and teenagers aged 14 to 19, aiming for a stronger start at primary school and improving older students' routes through education into successful careers.
