In Britain today, 90% of pupils are in state-run schools and only 7% are in privately-run schools.

The difference between both is the cost of the education with a free schooling in a state school against about £15 000-£30000 for a year in a private establishment.

The feature here is that pupils’ marks at the ‘A’ levels tend to vary according to their institution of origin: one pupil on five from state schools obtains top marks while at the contrary one pupil on two from private schools gets them.

Best universities require excellent ‘A’ level results to go there and their graduates lead to top positions in society in Britain.

Young people from underprivileged background are clearly disadvantaged to have the access to these universities: they constitute less than 5%, it means a tiny minority of students from poor neighbourhoods at Britain’s best twenty universities.

It can be explained by the difference of rigour and discipline applied on pupils in state and private establishments and moreover, the discrimination existing about application files at the entrance of universities.

What is quite obvious to me is that the education is paying to be in the best.

Only pupils with parents who have money and good relations have this chance.

These ones are a few in Britain.
