Support
Kent Schools is happy to consider valid independent research
on the issue of selective education.
However Professor Jesson's conclusions in his review of the structure
and performance of secondary education in Kent and Medway should come
as no surprise to anyone.
He has already made his views known in a previous piece of research which
was seriously undermined when it was revealed that the data he used was
invalid.
Support Kent Schools therefore
needs time to evaluate his latest findings.
Given his track record Professor Jesson's research should be treated with
extreme caution.
And, of course, Professor Jesson's sponsor Dr Stephen Ladyman can hardly
qualify as an independent in the debate on selective education.
