Proportion of black school leavers going to university in England falls

The proportion of black British school leavers going to university in England has fallen for the first time in a decade, just as the government prepares to limit the courses available for young people wanting to study in higher education.

Just froth - firstly figures also include disadvantaged whites - then it admits its fallen by only 1% - then it says ‘only 5% blacks go to high tariff uni compared to 10% of all students which seems a very high proportion. Too much racially polarised reporting.

links to other studies here too.

If the proportion who attain good A level results: - has not fallen, that would raise a concern with the university system - has fallen, that would raise a concern with the school system. Is the Guardian too broke to hire a journalist to do this basic research?

The comments on here just go to prove what a nasty small-minded nation Britain has become.

We need more black teachers

Perhaps they don't just 'cut the mustard?' Trying to put a slant on it GUARDIAN?

Could this 1% account due to NHS stopping bursaries for nurses?

Quick, pull down some more statues.

I should imagine student numbers have been steadily falling for years. My son went, now has a massive bill it will take him years to pay off. EducationShouldBeFree

For comparison what’s the proportion of white working class boys?

Out hanging around in gangs, selling illegal items, stabbing eachother. That's in London anyway.

Could it be that Brexit was won due to immigration, and that many local Brits are unable to get further education, but immigrants get them often? I suspect strongly this reality-concern is involved. Would the laws change at brexit here?

Do you know what proportion of kids from unemployed or lower working class households are going to university or do they just not come onto your radar under any circumstances?

Gender is far bigger issue than race. And gender is the main thing within all those races. Despite women being majority in almost every single course (even most of STEM e.g. Biology, medicine etc) there are 11 female only scholarships per 1 male only one & female only shortlists

so special treatments because of colour then?

Bore off

Does Brexit still mean Brexit?

If the government do not believe in gestures, please can they signify what they do believe in? It might be better to approach these issues through English Lit since more time is spent on that and there could be more focus on contemporary experiences Disgraceful and tone deaf as always.

Prominent Hong Kong professor and pro-democracy activist fired by universityDecision to fire Benny Tai, a tenured law professor, goes against previous ruling by the university senate Good... quite frankly Hong Kong has had quite enough of these subversive activists and needs to get back to earning a living in peace.... We need the pro-democrat professor fired in Hong Kong here in the USA. We should trade him in exchange for getting rid of one of our leftist professors! Oh yes. It is about time. A law lecturer teaches his young students to break the law. He doesn't care how many young lives he destroyed, he only cares about his own interests and his shadowy backers' wishes.
