APOCALYPSE OR NEW DAWN?
Social mobility and education in the post-Covid era

prof. Lee Elliot Major, University of Exeter  

Introduce il Prof. Michele Graziadei, Vice Presidente SSST

The COVID-19 crisis has exposed and exacerbated troubling trends in societal inequalities observed over recent decades. Despite increasing talk by politicians about improving equality of opportunity many developed countries are experiencing low and even declining levels of social mobility.
What can we do inside and outside education to create a society where talent and hard work determine life prospects rather than who you are born to or where you come from? Failure to improve life chances now will only store up greater societal problems for the future generations.
