Every year, millions of data points are collected about children’s learning, wellbeing and school experiences, but very few people ever see what happens behind the scenes. Big datasets allow us to see everyone – not just those who speak loudest, win prizes or struggle most visibly.
In this talk, Dr Pallavi Banerjee, Director and Principal Investigator of Inequalities action lab, will take you inside the hidden world of large-scale education datasets. You will discover how messy, raw numbers turn into insights that uncover inequalities, shape policy and improve young people’s lives. See how big data works, why it matters and how evidence can drive a fairer education system.
Ideal for children, young people, parents, teachers, data enthusiasts, aspiring researchers and anyone who wants to know more about how numbers help us transform educational policy and practice. Refreshments will be provided.
