When I originally envisioned the EEF, I imagined dozens of Statisticians, bent over spreadsheets, all furiously discussing their statistical methodology. Yet, it appears than in the whole of the EEF only one person has any Mathematical training at all. And, he’s using Statistics that no Mathematician has ever heard of. Are we willing to bet the lives and aspirations of millions of children on one man’s say so? I’m not sure we should.
