Michael Gove claimed on Radio 4 this morning that his plans would get more Free School Meal children into top universities - and quoted figures that this is currently 40 children, down from 45. So what he appears to be saying is that the focus away from Vocational Subjects That Don't Matter To Employers (BTECs etc) will help these 5 children. What about the 100,000s of others from working class families?
They're clearly insignificant. He has a point - children who are not academically gifted or good at reciting historical facts in exams aren't going to play a part in our economy anyhow.
