British government confirms class nature of education system

The investigation ordered by the government has revealed that 75% of lawyers and 70% of financiers in Great Britain are graduates of public schools. At the same time the majority of Britons study at state schools and only 7% of citizens go to private schools.
The conclusions of reporters are unappealable: it is necessary to change the current system of elite professions and to give poor and clever people an opportunity to become rich and successful.

The report was presented to Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Tuesday. The document contains 88 recommendations that generally mean that it is necessary to provide equal opportunities for all citizens and improve the education system and its correspondence to the labour market.
