Education: State school students miss out on big salaries - Telegraph

Pupils from state schools are missing out on £90,000 salaries as teachers refuse to push them towards elite universities, according to a new study.

Half of comprehensive school students believe there is no difference in earning potential associated with a degree from a top university compared with a former polytechnic, it was disclosed.

Poverty of Aspirations is the probably the biggest curse the state sector inflicts on its charges, that and the ignorance of the second rate teachers who prefer their blinkered world view to actually looking at the truth.

Though The Telegraph doesn't paint that rosy a picture for graduates, ..nearly a fifth of students who graduated from leading universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, the London School of Economics, St Andrews and University College London were earning £90,000 a decade after graduating.
Nine grand a year?
