Money decides who goes to college

Should there be a league table to identify the feeder schools for prisons? Why not? This week, we had the annual league table to identify the feeder schools for higher-level education, writes Michael Clifford

This type of table is supposed to inform parents and pupils about which schools excel at producing high academic results. The inference is that the quality of education at these schools is somehow superior. Maybe the teaching is better. Or maybe the pupils who attend those schools have sharper minds. Whatever, the inference is that these schools are somehow ‘the best’.
