http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-37250916 More students from state schools have been admitted to Oxford university than ever before. If comprehensive schools were so inferior compared to grammar schools then surely this would not be happening? The truth is that the people who want more grammar schools are ignorant. They are ignorant because they incorrectly believe grammar schools produce better students and they are ignorant because of how they look down on comprehensives. They look back at their school days with rose tinted glasses and don't see the truth of the matter. That both kinds of schools produce exactly the same quality of students. All it does having two types of state run schools is to create unnecessary class divisions. I hope these statistics make some people think twice about their ideas but I'm not giving my hopes up. |
