British children from poorest homes 'being failed at school'

White British pupils from working class homes are more likely to fail at school than any other ethnic group, sparking fresh concerns that a generation of young people are being consigned to a life on benefits.

Figures show that just over a quarter of teenagers from deprived backgrounds left school last summer with five good GCSEs including the core subjects of English and maths.

Poor white British children – particularly boys – are significantly less likely to succeed than deprived pupils brought up by Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean or Black African parents, it was revealed.

It emerged that Chinese pupils with parents in the same income band are around three times as likely to leave school with decent GCSE grades.

In a further damning disclosure, figures also show that children who speak English as a second language make more progress in the three-Rs throughout their secondary education than British pupils.

The announcement will fuel fears that thousands of children from the toughest backgrounds are being failed at school – leaving many without the skills needed for a decent job.

It came as Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted’s chief inspector, warned today that too many schools used deprivation and troubled family backgrounds as an “excuse” for underperformance, suggesting they could be placed on a Government hit-list for failing to raise standards.

Now here's the TRUTH - "It came as Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted’s chief inspector, warned today that too many schools used deprivation and troubled family backgrounds as an “excuse” for underperformance, suggesting they could be placed on a Government hit-list for failing to raise standards."

The EDUCATION SYSTEM is DELIBERATELY FAILING INDIGENOUS WORKING CLASS CHILDREN and FAMILIES ... DELIBERATELY

Just a small point..it looks like we (the INDIGENOUS BRITISH) are an ETHNIC GROUP.

Who fights for OUR ETHNIC RIGHTS ?
