How should we respond to the continuing failure of compensatory education
TL;DR: The authors argue that children in disadvantaged schools need a "politics of redistribution" but that the mechanism of distribution and the nature of what it is that is to be redistributed are problematic, and conclude that until we have a clearer idea of what we are compensating, compensatory education policies will be doomed to fail.

TL;DR: This article used the cohort of 2005 school-leavers in the National Pupil Database to present an economic analysis of the effects of secondary school admissions in England on pupil sorting and achievement, concluding that the current secondary school arrangements have resulted in a system that is stratified and inequitable, without measurable efficiency gains induced by competition between schools for pupils.
