The study, called the Covid Social Mobility and Opportunities (COSMO) Study is to be funded with £4.6m from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and will be led by researchers from the University College London (UCL) Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities and the Sutton Trust.
It will follow the young people, recruited from year 11 pupils in the current academic year (2020/21) over at least two years, with aims to continue collecting data from the participants into their adult lives.
