Glasgow-Edinburgh divide on school qualifications

BBC

More than a third of people in Glasgow North East have no school qualifications.

A table published by the University and College Union (UCU) showed 35.3% of those of working age left school without passing a single examination.

The result gives the area the lowest rating in the UK.

Every Edinburgh constituency was placed in the top third for educational achievement. Every constituency in Glasgow was below the British average.

The best result in Scotland was for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine, where only 4.4% of people had no qualifications.
