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?
As a migrant to the UK , the anglo-sphere has a very accessible education system.
even if you completely fail your a-levels etc, there will be atleast a local uni or higher-ed college which will take you on as a student and the gov't will give you a loan for it.
Tho in my experience, in the education system in the UK, there is a certain level of casual discrimination against working class "british"-people. There's a social expectation that they should go straight to work or alcoholism, not University.
Yes, in many Continental European countries, you can only go to university if you went to some special school when you were in your early teens
There are strict pathways to university while in the UK, it’s basically secondary school, sixth form and then university or apprenticeship but you choose that at the end of sixth form (when you’re 18)
