Separately, in 2022 79% of Somali girls studying in Lambeth achieved grades 9-4 in their English and Maths GCSE; they outperformed the national and Lambeth female average of 67% and 68% respectively and outperformed the other groups in the research (white british, polish, caribbean, portugese) besides africans for that year although again I’m unsure if this category includes Somalis or not.

The census shows that nearly a quarter of Somalis in the United Kingdom are currently at university. 21.7% of Somalis in England and Wales are students right now (in comparison to 7.3% of the England and Wales population so 3x the national average). For reference, 48% of Somalis in the UK are under 21 and the majority of Somalis in the UK were born in England or Wales.

I would say most UK Somalis over 18 are probably in university right now and studying, those who aren’t are probably doing apprenticeships or retaking their exams (gap years), so they are economically inactive because they’re studying. UK Somalis are doing quite well and the next census should be much more interesting and positive.

Y'all honestly got too many self haters within y'all's community. On every major somali platform there's a bunch of coons from the UK constantly calling Somali dudes broke and uneducated.

It isn’t my community but I wanted to showcase the positives. We’re all doing well and the future looks promising. We need to disengage with Somali creators that spread lies or call them out
