Official census statistics released today confirm that Oldham has the worst levels of adult qualifications in Greater Manchester & the 16th highest rate of people with no qualifications in all England & Wales out of 348 local authority areas. For level 4 and above qualifications Oldham ranks as 312 out of 348 meaning just 36 areas in England & Wales have lower levels of degree and above qualified residents. If you take the more affluent & educated residents of Saddleworth out of the total figures the situation is substantialy worse.
