Title Don’t despair – here are all the ways Britain is better than it was two decades ago Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet New Statesman Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 6/01/17 Description Consider Bangladeshis. Two decades ago, Bangladeshi children were among the worst-performing in Britain. Yet the results of Bangladeshis on Free School Meals improved more than any other ethnic group on FSMs in the last decade, and the improvements have been reflected in the world of work. The proportion of Bangladeshi women in work has risen by one-third in the last five years, according to Yaojun Li, from the University of Manchester. The ascent of Bangladeshis, in school and in work, serves as an antidote to those who say that multiculturalism can never work.
