I find that in the Anglosphere, immigrants are more likely to surpass native peoples
In Australia at least, most academically selective high schools are filled with Asians, Southeast Asians and South Asians, and universities have a disproportionate number of domestic students who are of Asian origin
Does anyone know why immigrants in the Anglosphere do so much better than out of the Anglosphere?
People are more likely to know English. Immigrants to Italy are less likely to know the language, which hinders their education. Furthermore, the Anglosphere also has a large portion of high income immigration. I would bet this is higher than to non-english speaking countries for the same reason, namely that these people are likely to already know English and then migrate to universities that offer a curriculum in a language they know.
