The front page of the Guardian today had a rather misleading headline regarding attainment statistics.
While the headline reads Gap between rich and poor pupils ‘widens 46% in a year’ the main article goes on to mention Black, Asian and minority ethnic students.
The article itself is clear, but can’t seem to decide if it is talking about rich and poor or black and white.
It is dangerous to conflate Black, Asian and minority ethnic attainment with questions of poverty, as they are not necessarily synonymous.
It’s a shame as a study on attainment during Covid 19 would be enlightening.
