However, pupils from middle class homes are much more likely to do so (30%), compared to working class pupils (16%). At private schools, 51% of primary and 57% of secondary students have accessed online lessons every day, more than twice as likely as their counterparts in state schools.

But with more young people studying for degrees in an increasingly competitive job market, it is now becoming clear that a degree alone is not enough for young people to succeed in the world of work. And importantly, even if two young people go to the same university and achieve the same degree classification, if one of them is from a higher socio-economic background, they will be more likely to gain a top job, and also to earn a higher salary, than their equally academically qualified peers from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Rebecca's research looks at a range of activities offered at university outside of a student's core academic course, to examine how well they develop employability and essential life skills in students, as well as how access to such o...

One hemisphere of the brain was homogenised, RNA extracted and qPCR carried out for SAG-1 (tachyzoites) and Cysts. Data analysed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test. All data are shown as mean ± SEM. (TIF 17 kb)

Mice were infected with 1 × 104 tachyzoites of T. gondii by oral gavage. One hemisphere of the brain was homogenised, RNA extracted and qPCR carried out on (A) 5–6-month-old and (B) 11–12-month-old animals. Data analysed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison test. All data are shown as mean ± SEM. (TIF 101 kb)

During open field, the (A) number of line crossings, (B) time spent mobile, (C) number of rears and (D) number of defecations during the test were measured. The Y-maze behavioural test was carried out 5 days PI. (E) Percentage alternations and (F) the number of arm entries in the Y-maze were measured. Data analysed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test, *p

Is there more hope now that the number of comprehensively educated MPs is growing? Rebecca Montacute explains why politics still remains almost exclusive to the most well off, and what policies could help get more state school pupils into politics.
