Muslim students less likely to be awarded top class degrees.

Muslim students less likely to be awarded top class degrees.
From the Guardian. No link but it's easy enough to find.

Quote:“Reasons for differences in degree award by student’s religion during their time in [higher education] are complex and difficult to disentangle from other characteristics associated with religion,”

Yes no doubt, there must be no end of variables involved but this:

Quote:The researchers found that the gap between Muslims and others got wider as the proportion of Muslims studying at an institution fell. Universities with Muslims making up just 3% of students saw the worst outcomes compared with their peers...

Appears to be in conflict with this:

Quote:The researchers also noted that the performance of Muslim students was inversely related to the proportion of Muslim staff at an institution: for every additional percentage point of Muslim staff, the attainment gap between Muslims and non-Muslims shrank by more than by two percentage points.

WTF? I eagerly await an explanation for this from our Muslim colleagues.

Quote:Jewish students were the most academically successful among all groups: nearly nine out of 10 graduated with a first or 2.1 degree. And eight out of 10 students with no religion also achieved a first or 2.1.

Every picture tells a story.
Miserable Bastard.
