Abstract
- It is well established that UK students who had attended private schools before university perform less well at university, on average, than students educated in state schools. Using data for a particular university, we find that while this result holds for White students, among Black, Asian and Mixed Ethnicity (‘BAME’) students private schooling is – on average – associated positively with degree class; again this is true regardless of gender but is stronger among males. This is driven by a strong positive association among Black students and students of Mixed Ethnicity. Among Asian students, there is no association on average – but this conceals a strong negative association for those from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
