摘要:I estimate the effects of an education policy (Triple Science) in England aimed at increasing the take-up and
attainment of young people in science subjects. I identify the effect of the policy by comparing two adjacent
cohorts of pupils in schools that offer Triple Science to one cohort, but not to the other. I find some large and
significant effects on later subject choice and attainment, and these appear to be particularly strong for boys and
pupils from more deprived backgrounds
