The RSS has issued a strongly worded statement regarding the Department for Education’s ‘misuse’ of statistics regarding government funding of education.
RSS President, Sir David Spiegelhalter, said: 'The Department for Education has had multiple warnings over the years about misusing statistics. For a Department that is in charge of the nation’s numerical skills, this is getting embarrassing. Ministers need to get a grip and ensure they use numbers in a trustworthy way.
'As the UK Statistics Authority has shown, DfE has recently been using statistics selectively, in a way that can rightly be termed “spinning”.’
