Posh Boys: How English Public Schools Ruin Britain

by Robert Verkaik - £10.99  Oneworld Publications (2019)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781786076120 | ISBN 10: 1786076128

In Britain today, the government, judiciary and military are all led by an elite who attended private school. Under their watch, our society has become increasingly divided and the gap between rich and poor is now greater than ever before. Is this the country we want to live in?
 
If we care about inequality, we have to talk about public schools.
 
Robert Verkaik issues a searing indictment of the system originally intended to educate the most underprivileged Britons, and outlines how, through meaningful reform, we can finally make society fairer for all.
