自20世纪60年代以来，英国少数民族社区的社会流动性明显上升，教育似乎在这一过程中发挥了关键作用。尽管如此，社会科学家们在考虑教育、种族和社会分层之间的联系方面进展缓慢。高等教育的作用尤其被忽视。虽然有人认为大学学位分配存在种族偏见，但由于现有数据的性质和所进行的分析类型，这方面的工作受到限制。本文包括大学申请程序的关键阶段的详细考虑，并特别注意到候选人的预测和实际的A级成绩的作用。虽然有少数民族背景的年轻人被大学录取的人数很多，但人们认为，高等教育在民族平等方面的作用是矛盾的。体制偏见意味着少数民族候选人被过滤到新的大学部门，它的结论是，在教育和劳动力市场的偏见联合收割机相结合，创造一个累积的模式，族裔劣势。
Upward social mobility has been evident among British ethnic minority communities since the 1960s, and education appears to have had a key role in this process. Despite this, social scientists have been slow to consider the link between education, ethnicity and social stratification. The role of higher education has been particularly neglected. Although there has been some suggestion of an ethnic bias in the allocation of university places, previous work in this area has been limited by the nature of the data that have been available and by the types of analysis that have been conducted. This article includes detailed consideration of the key stages of the university application procedure, and particular attention is given to the role of candidates' predicted and actual A-level grades. Although young people from ethnic minority backgrounds are admitted into university in large numbers, it is suggested that higher education has an ambivalent role in relation to ethnic equality. Institutional biases mean that ethnic minority candidates are filtered into the new university sector, and it is concluded that biases in education and the labour market combine to create a cumulative pattern of ethnic disadvantage.
