White boys don't want to go to university is what a study concluded in England.
Asians and blacks are more apt to go than their white teenage counterparts.
Blacks go at a rate of 18%. Asians go at a rate of 25.4%. Chinese (yeah, I know they are Asian) go at a rate of 22.7%.
White boys of working class men were 8.5 times LESS likey to go than black and Asian middle-calss women.
Men make up about 35% of the university population. Women are 45%. The other 20% are anybody's guess I suppose.
Researchers are saying that boys generally give up on higher education aspirations at a much younger age, even planning to drop out of school at the age of 16.
And, I thought that America was a higher education challenged bunch.
Britain really has its hands full.
Most of the Asians get financially supported by Parents, this is the main cause behind their college, but it is said to see what these white will do in future.
