UK: The new underclass: Working class white boys now most likely to fail in school

Article here. Excerpt:

'Only 10 per cent of white British males from the most disadvantaged backgrounds go onto higher education, according to a new report.

By stark contrast, 20 per cent of men from black Caribbean heritage, 50 per cent of males from Indian backgrounds and more than 60 per cent of boys from Chinese heritage are keen to take their education further.

The startling statistics are contained within a report from the Higher Education Policy Institute.

The figures highlight how young white men are less likely to achieve, prompting fears they could get trapped in a life-cycle of failure where they are left behind while others flourish.'
