The education select committee is to investigate the underachievement of white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds
It will form the first part of a bigger inquiry into the issues faced by pupils from 'left behind groups' and will run alongside the committee's COVID-19 inquiry
The committee pointed to statistics showing that the average attainment 8 score for white boys eligible for free school meals in the GCSE examinations in 2018 was 28.5, whilst the national average was 46.5
The committee is inviting submissions by 5 June 2020
