Book Description
‘The latest in the series of powerful books on the divisions in modern Britain, and will take its place on many bookshelves beside Reni Eddo-Lodge’s Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race and Owen Jones’s Chavs.’ –Andrew Marr, Sunday Times ‘In his fascinating, enraging polemic, Verkaik touches on one of the strangest aspects of the elite schools and their product’s domination of public life for two and a half centuries: the acquiescence of everyone else.’ –Observer In Britain today, the government, judiciary and military are all led by an elite who attended private school. Under their watch, our society has become increasingly divided and the gap between rich and poor is now greater than ever before. Is this the country we want to live in? If we care about inequality, we have to talk about public schools. Robert Verkaik issues a searing indictment of the system originally intended to educate the most underprivileged Britons, and outlines how, through meaningful reform, we can finally make society fairer for all.

Social Mobility and Education in Britain
Author: Erzsébet BukodiPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110867237X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Building upon extensive research into modern British society, this book traces out trends in social mobility and their relation to educational inequalities, with surprising results. Contrary to what is widely supposed, Bukodi and Goldthorpe's findings show there has been no overall decline in social mobility – though downward mobility is tending to rise and upward mobility to fall - and Britain is not a distinctively low mobility society. However, the inequalities of mobility chances among individuals, in relation to their social origins, have not been reduced and remain in some respects extreme. Exposing the widespread misconceptions that prevail in political and policy circles, this book shows that educational policy alone cannot break the link between inequality of condition and inequality of opportunity. It will appeal to students, researchers, policy makers, and anyone interested in the issues surrounding social inequality, social mobility and education.

Book Description
This report details the performance of the different sectors of the Insolvency Service during 2005-06. Chapters include: management commentary; agency review and governance; case administration; enforcement and investigation; redundancy payments; policy; insolvency practitioner regulation; banking; companies investigation branch; accounts. The major trend reported is a 42 per cent increase in personal bankruptcies, to a total of 53,386, and individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs) dealt with by private sector practitioners more than doubled to 25,000. This increase in personal insolvency appears to be part of a wider picture in which consumer spending financed by borrowing is leaving an increasing number of people unable to manage their financial affairs. Another major feature of the year was the failure of the MG Rover Group, and the Redundancy Payments Directorate of the Service was involved in ensuring that the 6000 employees received the payments to which they were entitled.
