Recent studies unveiled by the government have published concerning research that shows that there is a ‘stark gap’ between the life chances of the poorest and the better-off in Britain.
The study, that Nick Clegg is set to unveil, shows that:
“One child in five is on free school meals, but only one in 100 Oxbridge entrants is.
Only 7% of children attend private schools, but these schools provide 70% of High Court judges and 54% of FTSE 100 chief executives.
One in five children from poorer homes achieves five good GCSEs, compared with three out of four from affluent homes.”
In response to the findings, Mr Clegg will be attempting to push new benchmanrks, which leaves him in a vulnerable position as it is a massive gamble, this will enable the public to track the Governments commitment to improving social mobility. Ministers are admitting to making a rod for their own backs.
In a speech to the Sutton Trust, Mr Clegg will admit that the Coalition "cannot afford" to leave a legacy like the current position. "Morally, economically.”
