UK schools 'most socially segregated'

When it comes to school everyone has tried to make it equal in the sense of education so everyone has the same the same opportunities in life.  In the UK there is a big social divide in the education but it affects the children of mothers who did not achieve five good GCSEs.  The countries are trying to make sure that their people move up the ladder and not down in anyway.  The poor children in the UK have a great chance of getting into universities are very high unlike other countries.  They are trying to make it so that education is socially equal with their people regardless of the family background.  According to the study they completed, “Among the children of immigrant families in the UK, 80% were taught in schools with high concentrations of other immigrant or disadvantaged pupils - the highest proportion in the developed world.”

There is a big divide in the have and have-nots in education saying that if you have an education that you have a good chance of success regardless of economic downturns.  The UK is really pushing to get more young people into universities.  There was a study that said tuition is not a problem as long as there is a good system to take out loans.  There is a lot of things that takes places for people not to want to attend school but the UK is working on making the system easier. 

Minister David made a statement saying “This latest report from the OECD's confirms that UK universities deliver good returns for students, taxpayers and the wider economy. The earnings premium enjoyed by graduates remains higher than the OECD average and the demand for UK graduates in the workplace continues to be strong despite the global recession. And, very importantly, the numbers going to university from disadvantaged backgrounds continues to rise.” This means that the UK is very aware that education is very important so that the social divide won’t be very big.   Regardless of the economic standing of the world education will put you first in line so that you will have a good chance of have a job.
