Why are Chinese & Indian students really intelligent?

[Karma]

Hey Guys,
Ive been surfing the Governments Statistics website and was astonished to see Chinese & Indian ethnic groups having the highest % of GCSE Pass-Rates and highest rate of Employment within Managerial & Professional occupations! Why is this? While I saw Pakistani & Bangladeshi rates far futher down within Education & Employment, but they had the highest rate of self-employment where they work for themselves. Why is this, Pakistanis & Bangladeshis were Indians about 62 Years ago, so shouldnt they have the same high rates has Indians?

I don't know mut by freind is Chinese and his parents make him stay in studying like all the time so it may be something to do with that.

Becuase it's genetic. Pakistanis don't go to school they open corner shops hence being self-employed.

I think theres a completely different culture and work ethic with these ethnic groups. Or because there parents are paying crap loads for them to study here.

Im british indian but they do generally seem to be better. Guess its dicipline as indian parents care about their childrens education.

Some white parents dont care and allow children to skive school.
