Only around 20% of students passed GCSEs in maths and English. Ten years ago, Outward Grange school was anarchic.Д¬hildren drank alcohol and smoked in school and the prospect of getting an education or going to university was alien. The town was dependent on the timber and mining industries and went into decline in the 1990s when the pits closed. So whatвЂ™s going on?Дr Phil Smith is the executive principle at the Outwood Grange Academies Trust in Worksop, catering for one of the most deprived areas of the country вЂ“ which is mostly white working class. Poor white students are least likely of any group to go to university. That gap widens to 16 percentage points by ages 7-11.ДЄt GCSE level, the difference is 17 points for those achieving a good pass in maths and English, with just 17% of white children from low-income families getting a grade 5 or higher, compared to 34% for poor children of African origin.

LetвЂ™s go back and look within those two groups at low-income households вЂ“ those who qualify for free school meals. Ms Begum said factors such as having a foreign-sounding name on your CV can impact peopleвЂ™s chances of securing a job interview.Д«ut data suggests some white students are also at a disadvantage. Halima Begum, director of the Runnymede Trust think tank, said: вЂњImagine the signal thatвЂ™s giving to a young black person, that you may do better than your counterparts, but actually youвЂ™re not going to end up with the same jobs.вЂќ So the data suggests there is a tipping point after GCSEs where the tide turns against black African people who stay in education but end up in lower paid jobs. Again, it is around a seven-point deficit. They achieve higher average grades overall and when they get to university that difference widens to almost seven points, with white students achieving better results вЂ“ more firsts and a higher proportion of 2:1 degrees.ДЇive years after graduating, white people are on higher average wages and more likely than people of African origin to be in sustained employment or further education. White studentsвЂ™ results are five percentage points higher in the number of people getting at least 3 As. Once we get to A-levels, things start to change. White children start primary school five percentage points ahead of African origin children in terms of the expected standard of development, Department of Education statistics show.Д«ut when they reach the 7-11 age group, black African children have overtaken them and by the time they do GCSEs their results are also better. To simplify things, IвЂ™ve decided to compare just two ethnic groups through the course of their education: white British and people of African origin. ItвЂ™s argued this is also a problem with the modern-day curriculum in many subjects. They say the 19th Century businessman and politician in southern Africa represented white supremacy and is steeped in colonialism and racism. The Black Lives Matter movement in Oxford is still campaigning to remove the statue of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes at Oriel College. The same arguments are made about science, English and especially colonialism in history. вЂњAnd itвЂ™s never challenged within the classroom.вЂќ If IвЂ™m reading Kant in philosophy, like KantвЂ™s in every single philosophy degree across the country, all you have to do is flick a page and youвЂ™ll be met with ideas about yourself, about your humanity that are fundamentally harmful. вЂњIвЂ™d flick a page and theyвЂ™re saying black people are less than human, like literally. вЂњI studied philosophy and politics as my first degree, and in my entire three years studying, I never once read somebody that wasnвЂ™t white in the philosophy side of my degree.
