re: BBC NEWS | Education | Professions ‘reserved for rich’
Top professions such as medicine and law are increasingly being closed off to all but the most affluent families, a report into social mobility has said.
Potential translation:
The state of education in the UK has declined so dramatically that the majority of people who qualify to slice you open nowadays are those whose parents were wealthy enough to afford private education for their children
…perhaps?
If you’re bright, are stretched at school, and you work hard, you can succeed.
If you’re bright and get squelched, not so much.
I think the idea of a Labour government complaining about “closed-shop mentality” is hilarious.
I think the idea of a huge “projected growth in the number of managerial jobs” is terrifying.
Argh.
