"Universities 'need quota of poor students'"

Submitted by Simon on Sun, 08/22/2010 - 10:07pm

THE YEAR WAS 2011, and everybody was finally equal.

Here's an admissions policy just crazy enough to work: "let in the people who make the grade."

Well....

...I agree that letting in the people who make the grade is the best policy (and the reason why affirmative action programs dont work very well in the states), depending on how it was done (the big "if") a limited program could make sense in Britain which has a terrible record of promoting social mobility.

Granted, they would be better served by overhauling their entire education system to remove the inherent class bias...but I dont see that happening anytime soon.
