BAME degree woe

THE “degree gap” between white students and their black peers could take another 66 years to close at the current rate of change, analysis suggests.

Universities’ progress in narrowing the gap has been too slow, according to a member of the Advance HE executive group. Overall, 81.4% of white students received a first or 2:1 degree in 2018-19, compared to 68% of BAME students.
