British schools are a success story – why are we doing so well? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
British schools – and English schools in particular – are doing remarkably well. Results from the OECD's 2025 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) were published earlier this month, and the UK is close to the top of the class among European peers. The closely watched comparative survey, which began in 2000, is conducted every three years, assessing the educational skill levels of 15-year-olds around the world, with an emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving and the applic
The “techlash” against data centres (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A data centre is a big, highly secure building full of computers and the other physical infrastructure that the digital world is built on. They've been around for decades (since the 1940s, reckons IBM, in the form of “server rooms”), but the internet, cloud computing and now the widespread adoption of AI have all radically increased the need for giant – and now “hyperscale” – centres.

But the whole of England – 85% of the UK’s population – remains governed by Whitehall. Westminster decides everything, says The Economist, from the sums that local authorities can charge for planning applications to how long the tinkling of ice-cream vans may go on. Local and regional taxes account for less than 2% of GDP,
What the UK's social media ban means for children (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The government said in June that it will bring in a social media ban for children. Modelled on a similar ban already in place in Australia, the necessary legislation is due to be put to Parliament in the autumn, and to take effect early next year. The restrictions will broadly define social media as sites that promote social interaction between users, allow them to post material or links to external sites, and use recommendation algorithms or “persuasive design”, such as infinite scrolling.
