lowest educational achievers in the uk are lower working class white british students, and the bangladeshi community. indian girls top the list. pakistanis achieve high, good and mediocre results

the uk pakistanis approach and attitude towards learning is different from other pakistani groups including their own first cousins in pakistan. i have seen first hand how much importance the real pakistanis place on ‘papers’ (exams/coursework.) in the uk its an individual stress, in pakistan its a familial concern. the difference is startling because they are first cousins of each other and share the same background

Actually, this is quite true for the University level Pakistani students.

University-level
British Pakistani pupils are 1.7% of the 18 year old’s in the country, but they make up 2.4% of the first year students at University[8]](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/#cite_note-insted.co.uk-7). Regions of predominantly non-Kashmiri settlement, such as Greater London and the South East are sources of greater university applications [8]](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/#cite_note-insted.co.uk-7). University applicants are over represented by 7.5% from Greater London and by 4.6% from the South East. Where as, they are under represented by 4.9% from West Midlands, by 4.4% from the East of England and by 4.3% from Yorkshire and Humber. Whilst from other regions, there is a slight over representation by between 0.2% to 0.6%[8]](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/#cite_note-insted.co.uk-7).** 33% of British Pakistani boys choose to continue their studies to the university level. This rate is the third highest rate in the country after Chinese and Indian boys and is higher than the rate for White British boys (23%), Black African boys (30%), Bangladeshi boys (29%), Black Caribbean boys (16%) and those falling into the other black category (20%).******SIZE=2][55]](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/#cite_note-54)
