The Treasury has removed a numeracy test from its graduate scheme to boost diversity.

What kind of ‘graduates’ find numeracy a barrier?

The government department quietly scrapped the numerical reasoning test from its application process in 2020 owing “to evidence of the test having an adverse impact on candidate diversity”.

I guess diversity is more desired than, say, core competency.

The measure, uncovered by the Spectator magazine, has been described as “insane” and “through the looking glass” by critics.

Well, duh.

White working-class students are excluded from almost all Oxbridge diversity scholarships, an analysis by The Telegraph has found.

More than a dozen scholarships, bursaries and financial aid schemes are available to Oxford and Cambridge university students based on their ethnicity and not their socioeconomic backgrounds.

While all of the schemes can be used by students from black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, they almost entirely exclude white working-class students, who are one of the most under-represented groups in higher education.
