Predicting educational and labour market outcomes for vulnerable children who have been to boarding schools

该博士项目旨在研究英格兰寄宿学校受照顾儿童和其他弱势儿童(LAVC)的教育成就和劳动力市场结果。2021年，英格兰受照料和易受伤害儿童的数量为80,850人(DFE，2021)。低收入家庭的教育和劳动力市场结果很差，没有在教育或培训中就业的机会超过了那些从未生活在或处于护理边缘的人(DFE，2021)。此外，在成人无家可归人口中，受到照顾和脆弱的儿童占不成比例的比例。这项研究将使用来自国家学生数据库、个人学习记录、高等教育统计机构、DWP和HMRC的行政关联数据。这项研究将由大卫·墨菲教授、迈克·阿德金斯博士和詹尼·德·弗拉亚教授监督。

This PhD project aims to research the educational achievements and labour market outcomes for looked after and other vulnerable children (LAVC) in England who have attended boarding schools. The number of looked after and vulnerable children in England was 80,850 in 2021 (DfE, 2021). Educational and labour market outcomes for LAVCs are poor and the chances of becoming not employed in education or training outweigh those who have never lived in or at the edge of care (DfE, 2021). In addition, children who were looked after and vulnerable are disproportionately represented within the adult homelessness population. This study will involve using administrative linked data from the National Pupil Database, Individual Learner Records, Higher Education Statistics Agency, DWP, and HMRC. This study will be supervised by Professor David Murphy, Dr Mike Adkins, and Professor Gianni de Fraja.
