Dominance of Oxbridge in UK public life is self perpetuating because the universities get first pick over the most talented students. The value added by the teaching is minimal (all the Oxbridge academics I know personally happily admit this).
Anyway sorry to everyone who followed me because of quant or crypto stuff and is now getting my opinions on the UK education system, back to normal programming soon
No worries. Was interesting.
I have more opinions on this matter than Twitter would care for. However, the post-grad life is a lot more egalitarian, FWIW.
Agree that private school coaching often helps to make applicants look better than they are. However, as someone who attended private school in the US, I can say that more than anything, I learned how to learn. Plus honor code (no lying, cheating or stealing) has stuck with me
Honor code, that's a good one for UK private (aka public) schools.
What's your proposed solution? The policies at Oxbridge of requiring a higher bar for privately educated students seems to work fairly well (by metric of whether you went to private school is not a good predictor of degree class) so for me any change has to come pre-uni
It does need to start pre-uni, and there are various possible options, including outreach programmes
