Education in Britain, where opportunities to all communities are equal, is indeed an eyeopener as an index to the basic intelligence of the peoples.
There has been many debates here over why the Moslems are lagging behind the others in social and economic development in India. Many have opined that it is because Moslems, as a whole, have not been given the benefits of a first rate education and many rather inane reasons, including discrimination, have been aired.
For arguments sake, one can say fair enough.
However, in the UK, it is a country of the whites and ruled by the whites and surely they do not discriminate on whether one is from India or from Timbuctoo or whether one is a Moslem, Christian, Hindu, Buddhists or a plain pagan! The education opportunities are on a level playing field.
These British statistics clearly indicates that if there is any discrimination, it is by the Almighty and nothing else!
Thus, it puts paid to all controversies as to why the Moslems lag behind.
Unless you have the basic intelligence, unless you have aptitude, unless you are interested in making something of your life rather than wasting time in pursuit of activities that are not suited to the environment that you live in, you shall remain a no-gooder!
I do not subscribe to the idea that the failing is genetic!

GCSE performance
In 1999, a higher proportion of girls than boys in each ethnic group achieved five or more GCSEs at grades A*-C (or equivalent).
Indian pupils are more likely to get these qualifications than other ethnic group, with 66 per cent of Indian girls and 54 per cent of Indian boys doing so in 1999. This contrasts with only 37 per cent of Pakistani and Bangladeshi girls and 22 per cent of Pakistani and Bangladeshi boys.
Of those who achieved five or more A*-C grade GCSEs, only half of Black pupils achieved very high results (8 or more A*-C grades) whereas at least two-thirds of all other ethnic groups achieved this level.
Between 1997 and 1999 all ethnic groups, with the exception of Pakistani and Bangladeshis, saw a rise in achievement of five or more A*-C grade GCSEs by sixteen year olds. This meant that the gap between the lowest and highest achieving ethnic groups widened over this time period.
School exclusions
In 2000/01, Black pupils were more likely to be permanently excluded from schools in England than children from any other ethnic group.
The highest permanent exclusion rates were among children belonging to the ‘Other Black’ group (40 in every 10 thousand pupils) and Black Caribbean pupils (38 in every 10 thousand). This compared with 13 in every 10 thousand White children. The lowest rate of permanent exclusions was for Indian pupils (3 in every 10 thousand).
For all ethnic groups, the rate of permanent exclusions was higher for boys than for girls.
Highest qualification
In 2001/02 people from some minority ethnic groups in the United Kingdom were more likely to have degrees (or equivalent) than White people. Those most likely to have degrees were Chinese people, Indians, Black Africans and Other Asians.
Among men, Black Caribbeans were the least likely to have degrees (8 per cent). Among women, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were the least likely to have degrees (7 per cent).
Despite some ethnic groups being more likely than the White population to have a degree, they were also more likely to have no qualifications at all.
In particular Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were most likely to be unqualified. Nearly half (48 per cent) of Bangladeshi women and 40 per cent of Bangladeshi men had no qualifications. Among Pakistanis, 40 per cent of women and 27 per cent of men had no qualifications.
