“Almost a quarter of the students at our research-intensive universities come from the 7% of the population who go to private school” —Theresa May

“Those from more advantaged backgrounds are also more likely to enter higher prestige institutions. This trend was captured by prime minister Theresa May when she acknowledged that ‘almost a quarter of the students at our research-intensive universities come from the 7 per cent of the population who go to private school’. By contrast, as Diane Reay et al. (2009) pointed out, working-class students, for the most part, end up in universities seen to be ‘second class’ both by themselves and others. While a higher prestige university is no guarantee of superior teaching, society’s top jobs do tend to get hoovered up by alumni of elite universities, as reports from the Sutton Trust regularly note.”--Steven Jones
