Low social mobility is one of the most important social issues facing the country.

Too many children grow up without the vital support and encouragement to pursue a university education, believing that university isn’t an option for them. The figures make stark reading and demonstrate the size of the challenge.

0%

of children receiving free school meals fail English and Maths GCSE.

0%

of the most disadvantaged school children make it to university.

0%

of chief executives today are from working-class origins.
