Great to see someone highlighting what is still a huge issue re privileged and elite schools and institutions producing certain beneficiaries in various sports. From a huge number of kids that are finding their way in the world, this private/public school group comprise only about 7% of the total and why do their parents invest in this form of education (freedom of choice of course!)? Because they profess that they will have a huge advantage over the rest when it comes to elite sport and elite jobs and it goes hand in hand with the snobby, artificial posh accents that they acquire!! It is not right, it is not fair and equal opps for all kids should be the clarion call esp now that we are well on into the 21st century!! Yet we are still practising this type of divisive two tier educational system that definitely still embraces this form of bias and to the detriment of the many whose talents are either ignored or never nurtured to fruition.
