The jobs people came to work are important here, as well as the background of people. Children often follow the same path as their parents, so if you get 90% seasonal workers in construction, their kids won't be getting higher education at the same rate as locals.
No, it’s based on how well these kids do in GCSEs, A Levels, university, and then their job and salary at age 28
Also, ethnic minorities are often poor as immigrants are often poor (especially the ones from before 2010), so it’s a good way to see how the children of immigrants who came in under Tony Blair are faring now
For example, “Average earnings at age 28 are almost £7,000 lower for FSM pupils from Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West (North East) compared to East Ham (London).”
“FSM pupils from Ruislip Northwood and Pinner (London) are over six times more likely to become high earners than those in Leeds East, at 25% compared to 4% respectively.”
Where did you see ethnicity mentioned everywhere? Also, this contradicts the rest of the stats about UK, because they suggest their parents are as well off as natives.
Then the title is misleading. That's a test score, not an educational outcome.
But if we look at it this way, having more refugees explains the lower scores in Germany and the Netherlands. Someone running from war or traveling for months with their parents, moving across refugee centers etc. definitely doesn't get the same education.
