- Current differences in educational attainment of different social groups.
- Social class
- Children from low income families do less well than more affluent children. 77% of children from professional backgrounds attained 5 A*-C grades. At age 17 87% from professional backgrounds were still in education compared to 58% from manual backgrounds.
- Ethnicity
- Indian and Chinese do as well/better than White British. Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Afro-Caribbean boys do less well and underachieve. Indian and Chinese are often more business orientated therefore making a higher income. Afro-Caribbean girls achieve average grades.
- Gender
- Girls do better than boys at every stage in National Curriculum test and do better than boys in most GCSE subjects. Females are more likely to get three or more A-Level passes. A higher proportion of females stay on at sixth form and further education.
- Reasons for this: Girls have more motivation and work harder. Boys mature later. Teachers have lower expectations for boys.
