Britischer Regierungsberater: Schulsystem "sexistische Einrichtung" zu Lasten von (weißen) Jungen

Dr Tim Leunig, an economic historian and aide to the schools minister David Laws, said that for boys at least "being white" had become "the problem" in schools.

He argued that from an economic point of view it matters "more" to target underachievement among white pupils than others.

And he added that the education system could be described as "institutionally sexist" by failing to ensure boys and girls are making similar levels of progress.

His comments (...) come after official figures show that white boys from deprived backgrounds are now the worst performing ethnic group in reading tests for six years olds.
