A report has revealed that white boys are virtually bottom of the class in schools throughout Britain.
They do WORSE in exams than children from almost EVERY other group in the country.
Caribbean, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, black African and Chinese pupils, as well as girls from any background, are all well ahead of them according to latest research by government education chiefs.
Only gypsy and traveller children or those in care - that is, kids whose educations are routinely disrupted - come below white boys.
Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, pointed the finger of blame at white mums and dads who didn't give their sons the educational support they needed.
"Chinese and Indian youngsters do well because they are pushed by their parents to do well and have supportive families - but many white British males don't have this," he said.
A spokesman for the Department for School Children and Families (DSCF)-who produced the report- admitted "underachievement, regardless of background or ethnicity, can only be tackled by changing the aspirations of young people, their parents and the education system."
The report found that both white boys AND girls did worse than other racial groups-but white boys in particular were found to be especially poor.
