This report from EPI is based on work that the think tank has done over the last year and looks at the manifestos of the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Greens and Reform UK as they affect England and tries to match manifesto commitments to a research evidence base. There port notes that international comparisons show that England's high attaining pupils are on a par with some of the highest performing countries in the world. But England's biggest challenge is a long tail of low attainment that is correlated with economic disadvantage, special educational needs, and particular ethnic groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
