Cracking Social Mobility: How AI and Other Innovations Can Help to Level the Playing Field: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Cracking Social Mobility: How AI and Other Innovations Can Help to Level the Playing Field" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In the UK and most countries today, a persons life chances are unfairly influenced by their socio-economic circumstances at birth.

This has led to societal divides that have become wider and more pronounced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. There is now heightened awareness that the current state of affairs is unacceptable. Innovative approaches are urgently needed in order to combat social immobility.

Drawing upon the latest research, Cracking Social Mobility explores the factors that contribute to social immobility, and puts forward focused, innovative solutions. The book impresses upon readers that social mobility is a societal goal worth striving towards, and that societies can take strides in the right direction by harnessing the power of digital innovation. From democratizing the private tuition sector and enhancing the effectiveness of teaching and learning, to supporting inclusive recruitment practices, technologies can help to level the playing field. A heartfelt call to action, this book explores how this can be achieved.

Cracking Social Mobility highlights the very-real urgency of this issue but also (thankfully) suggests some potential road maps for the future, the most important of which is technological innovation and - vitally - applying it to education it in a way that is beneficial to all. Lord David Puttnam

This is an important and timely book... Tom Moules arguments are urgent and compelling. Geoff Barton

AI offers real prospects for significant advance on social mobility for disadvantaged students, who have been insufficiently helped by conventional educational approaches. This book addresses a very important subject. Sir Anthony Seldon

In Cracking Social Mobility: How AI and Other Innovations Can Help to Level the Playing Field, Tom Moule provides intelligent proposals on how to tackle social immobility. This book illustrates that by harnessing the power of tech, we can ensure every student reaches their full potential. For the sake of future generations, we cannot afford to ignore technologys potential to improve the delivery of teaching and learning in the classroom. We should grasp opportunities to ignite innovation, whenever they arise. A must-read for policymakers in the Department for Education.

The Rt. Hon. David Davis MP

Sir Anthony Seldon

This is an important and timely book. So much of our education system its curriculum, its methods of assessment, its attitudes seems locked in the past. Cracking Social Mobility looks to a more optimistic future, demonstrating how our most entrenched societal weakness might finally be overcome through technology, especially artificial intelligence. Tom Moules arguments are urgent and compelling.

Geoff Barton, General Secretary of the
Association of School and College Leaders

Social mobility must have begun to feel like a worn-out aspiration to vast swathes of the global population. The consequences of our collective failure to fill this widening gap will be deep and long-lasting and for the most part we as societies, governments and citizens are merely sleepwalking into the ramifications. Cracking Social Mobility highlights the very real urgency of this issue but also (thankfully) suggests some potential road maps for the future, the most important of which is technological innovation and vitally applying it to education it in a way that is beneficial to all.

Through a series of sincere and passionate arguments, Tom Moule shows us how better adoption of technological innovation can improve equality in education, and how technology can help amplify the efficiency of educators and educational institutions. He suggests a number of ways in which we can close the growing chasm between the worlds digitally divided communities to create a sustainable playing field for future generations. When it comes to the social mobility crisis, this book doesnt pretend to have all the answers, but it certainly offers some of them. For anyone thinking about strategic policies to future-proof our global community, Toms book is a very good place to start.

INTRODUCTION

The public mood is sour, sometimes angry. Whole tracts of Britain feel left behind. Whole communities feel the benefits of globalisation have passed them by. Whole sections of society feel they are not getting a fair chance to succeed. The growing sense that we have become an us-and-them society is deeply corrosive of our cohesion as a nation. There is a mood for change in Britain.

Alan Milburn, former Chair of the Social Mobility Commission, writing in the foreword to Time For Change: An Assessment of Government Policies on Social Mobility 1997-2017, The Social Mobility Commission.

The term AI winter refers to a period of stagnation during which the advancement of artificial intelligence grinds to a halt and widespread despondency creeps in. The world is not currently undergoing an AI winter; that said, the period we are now enduring could aptly be described as a social mobility winter. At the current glacial rate of progress it will take more than forty years to bridge the developmental gaps between less well-off and more advantaged five-year-olds,

A sense of helplessness accompanies this inertia. Polling conducted by the Social Mobility Commission in 2019 demonstrated that 44% of people believe that your successes in life are mainly determined by your background and who your parents were Despite lip service being routinely paid to the social mobility cause, there is often little reason to think that we as a society will emerge from this wintry haze anytime soon.

This inclement climate is a cradle for discord and despair. Some benefit from the opportunities that confer greater life chances; others dont. The latter group feels justifiably aggrieved. Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has warned of the dire consequences of such aggrievements, emphasising that entrenched societal divisions are giving rise to:

a growing sense of unfairness, precarity, perceived loss of identity and dignity, weakening social fabric, eroding trust in institutions, disenchantment with political processes, and an erosion of the social contract.

Others have suggested that this profound frustration lies at the heart of the political volatility experienced during recent years. A red flag is clearly waving. If we as a society cannot spring ourselves out of this malaise, then this social discord could spiral out of control. Such inequities cannot continue indefinitely. At some point the frost must thaw. But, as I write, we may actually be regressing into a bleaker state of winter.

The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on social mobility have not been the primary concern; that said, there are warning signs that the life chances of the least privileged could suffer disproportionately. There are clear indications that the limited provision from nurseries and schools during lockdown has exacerbated existing educational inequalities in the short term. The prolonged period of economic hardship that threatens to follow could leave the less privileged further behind in the long term.

At least during these difficult times some small consolation can be gained from the renewed zeal with which many long-standing societal ills are being grappled. The suffering of victims of domestic violence, the plight of the precarious workforce and the rejection of invaluable members of society who happen to have not been born in this country, are starting to be given warranted levels of attention. Lets hope that in the aftermath of our darkest hour, the concern and compassion that once shone through manages to translate into tangible outcomes. In this spirit, we should seize the chance to resolve the deep-rooted inequalities of opportunity that have plagued our society for so long. Its time to awaken from this state of hibernation and allow all people, from all backgrounds, to blossom.
