Perhaps, actually, degree subjects like Media Studies – a critical analysis of the digital, big media-ruled world we live in – attained at more diverse universities, are exactly what we need right now.

Because, here are the facts: on average 44% of politicians attended independent schools, with 19% of MPs holding an Oxbridge degree.

Last year, the proportion of Russell Group students educated at state schools fell. In fact, at the Royal College of Music, the proportion of state school pupils was as low as 31.1%.

According to a 2019 report by social mobility group The Sutton Trust, Oxbridge graduates make up around a quarter of the UK’s elite, while Russell Group graduates make up almost half of the elite group.

I’m sure you can see the pattern.

How can people think they are seen or heard with such a narrow representation at the top? Surely, shaming people over trying to learn more about the world in the best way they can will only prevent change?
