Poor pupils in weak schools face a "double disadvantage", which is the equivalent of being left a year behind more affluent contemporaries in better schools,
The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce has done research which warned of a "double disadvantage" in which the poorest children are concentrated in the least successful schools while affluent pupils tend to attend better schools.

Is it right to centralise the new better schools in areas which are already performing well above the national average & is the idea of religional pay for public sector workers going to exasperate the problem of social mobility even more?.
Given the evidence, it's hard to ignore that this kind of policy will wider the gap even further between children born in poverty against those in affluent families.
While in part I can understand the frustration at the underclass of those out of work in the UK (while I disagree with it), isn't this kind of policy going to make the situation worse?, create more hopeless people who are unable to contribute towards the growth & success of the nation?.
If people hate the "lazy ****less people" would it not be in our best interests to stop these changes which WILL create more of them?.
