Ethnic minority pupils in England are storming ahead

IN MUCH of Europe, pupils from many ethnic minorities struggle at school. That used to be true in Britain too, but not any more. Every ethnic minority group that trails white Britons in GCSE exams, normally taken at age 16, is catching up. Bangladeshis used to perform worse than whites; now they do better. Indians have maintained a huge lead. All this despite the fact that ethnic minorities are poorer than average. Control for that, by looking at pupils who are entitled to free school meals, and all ethnic-minority groups now do well.
