Is that also because of immigrants?


No, I went into private education. I have never been particularly good at semantics, however my spelling is impeccable.

But with less immigrants there would be more resources available to the natives.

and its the rural small towns that are suffering in silence. Labour spent so much time throwing money at inner city blacks that they forgot about the likes of Cornwall.

My school was quite "rural" The school was also very very white. You can't blame your poor English on either the govt or black people. You only have yourself to blame

The systematic failures of the British education system, as this report highlights, are the responsibility of the Department of Education.

Yeh, I was trying to avoid the racist undercurrent in the post you quoted, that is just nonsense.

I still maintain that people can only accept so much responsibility for their literacy level when the education system is such a total basket case.

That's a fair point. I was mainly refuting the bit about "white" schools vs "black" schools; not that schools are all made up of either white or black

Not surprised, everywhere I look there is comtempt for education, health, finances and hard work. This country needs a make over and not by someone who is orange.

Supposedly his logic (if he knows what that is) is that the other 22 countries have zero immigration or much less than us.

Yeah that's not it.
