SIR Dr Ali (T&, May 8) claims we must "tackle the barriers" to better education and employment opportunities for young people with Pakistani ancestry. What barriers?
According to Dr Ali, 70 per cent of such youngsters are leaving school with no qualifications, yet he bemoans the fact that youth employment among them is three times the district average. What a surprise!
The opportunities for their education are in place.
If they choose not to take advantage of these opportunities, who can they blame but themselves and possibly their parents?
