3 out of the 5 EA-aligned teachers who contributed to the post were from quite elite schools. In London we only got around to contacting schools with high grades (we had a sorted list, and were slowly working our way down the list). In Greater Vancouver we contacted every high school. I havenât done any careful analysis, but from eyeballing the data, there doesnât seem to be a clear correlation between school ranking and interest in running our workshops. Nor does there seem to be a clear correlation between school ranking and interest in advanced workshops.
From the data we collected, there is nothing to suggest students from elite schools are more âinterestedâ in EA than the average population. However, it is probably fair to say students from elite schools are on average more able to act upon EA principles as they get older, so targeting elite schools could be justified for that reason.
Thatâs very interesting. Seems like evidence that EA might not be inherently more appealing to students at top schools, but rather that EAâs current composition is a product of circumstance and chance.
