Black Britons of African origin beat whites in GCSE exams

In 2014, 68% of Africans got five good grades in their GCSEs, the exams taken at 16, compared with 65% of whites and 59% of Caribbeans.


They are far more likely to continue their education—indeed, the poorest Africans are as likely to go to university as the wealthiest Caribbeans. Although there is little difference in performance at primary school, Caribbean children “lack the support that’s needed to deal with the choppy waters of secondary school,” says Tony Sewell, the founder of Generating Genius, a charity. Africans, as newer arrivals, “have the mindset that there’s always something worse [than schoolwork] out there,” he adds.

Big up the mandem back home in Africa init

Nigerians are really clever in my experience.

And it's also part of the culture. Education is a very important part in an African home. My fellow Africans know what will be waiting for them if they come home from school with bad results

I can quickly see this turning into a black supremacy/all whites are evil thread if we're not careful

What I think is relevant is how White Britons are being failed (either by the State or their families), and what can be done to remedy this.

Is it to do with them being more intrinsically clever? Or is an expectation thing, where they try harder to uphold family honour? Or is it them being favoured with extra support in school?

It's an expectation thing

mainly being really clever at being scam artists.
