point re: top-up fees

Britain's university system is dominated by middle-class students who get into the top universities despite being less talented than teenagers from working-class backgrounds.

n.b. there is no such thing as a middle class, especially in inglan. when discussing university access, it makes very little sense to talk in the language of social democracy- outdated, smelly. why employ blairite language when discussing blairite ideology?

In a report that goes to the heart of the explosive political debate about top-up fees for university students, the Blairite Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think-tank reveals that the present system benefits the wealthy and is subsidised by taxes on the poor.

sounds like raising fees would actually make system fairer/more honest as bourgeois class would finance larger proportion of apparatus necessary to its own intergenerational cultural reproduction

'Taxpayers' money should be spent on improving the educational success of those young people from disadvantaged backgrounds rather than on more generous subsidies for predominantly middle-class students in higher education,' said Piatt.

the answer: a culture of one-scholarship-per-ghetto, u.s. style!
