Should we limit private school college admissions?

Leading universities have been urged to take no more than 10% of students from private schools. Aaron Reeves and Sam Friedman, Professors of Sociology at the London School of Economics say that strictly limiting the numbers of private school pupils attending leading universities is a “radical” move needed to boost social mobility and improve access to elite professions.
