22 June 2021 Education Committee's report highlights how disadvantaged White British pupils persistently underperform

The Parliamentary Education Committee report (The forgotten: how White working-class pupils have been let down, and how to change it) highlights how White British pupils eligible for free school meals persistently underperform compared with peers in other ethnic groups, from early years to higher education

It says that the solutions to this underperformance are

Funding to be tailor made at a local level to level up educational opportunity

Support parental engagement and tackle multi-generational disadvantage

Ensure the value of vocational training and apprenticeship options whilst boosting access to higher education

Attract good teachers to challenging areas

Find a better way to talk about racial disparities
