Social Mobility

[Chil1234]

Plans upcoming today from the government about improving life-chances and social mobility. What's held you back or given you a leg up in the past? And what do you think would most improve your social mobility going forward?

My 'leg-up' would be having parents with high expectations and access to the grammar school system. If anything held me back it was the lack of good contacts and poor careers advice.

"What we should be looking at is why private schools do so much better, and how we can learn from that in the state sector."

This is partly true, but there are other huge, huge factors.

Good argument for selection though HH.
