Sutton Trust Report Released
Sutton Trust Report Released
Stagnant social mobility comes at a substantial social and economic cost. For the last 15 years, the Sutton Trust has sought to address the problem through education, with research and programmes from the early years, through school and university access, to access to the professions.While there have been some improvements in overall university access for the poorest students, there remain huge challenges, particularly in our leading universities and at postgraduate level.
This report revisits the debate about why social mobility levels are relatively low in Great Britain and the United States of America compared to other countries. It focuses on three main areas within this debate: the changing role of educational inequalities; the expectation of ever higher levels of education as revealed in increasing numbers of workers holding postgraduate degrees; and potential differences by gender.
