The A level results are out today, with London racing ahead with A* and A grades.

It occurred to me that immigration, of the best kind, might play an important role here. Parents from migrant families often have higher ambitions for their children's education, and many of these reside in the capital. So, London, having become more and more diverse, has actually contributed to educational standards rising.
Win, win all round. Congratulations. 👏 👏

It has been said that a much higher number of children from aspirational immigrant backgrounds go on to become doctors/consultants/surgeons.
And to become academics and civil engineers etc.
A much needed workforce in the UK I would think.

I agree. Sadly these statistics rarely make the headlines.

Hang on a moment. Time soon for the 'Ah, but.... ' posts.
Good news, thanks, MartavTaurus.
