Identify the socioeconomic group under discussion in this article about student achievement.

  • A mere 15 per cent master the “three Rs.”
  • Studies cite parental indifference and family break-ups as reasons they have slipped behind other groups.
  • Some are held back by a peer culture which encourages low aspirations and holds intellectual effort in contempt.

It’s not who you think.
