I don't think the phenomenon is limited to the UK, sadly. The base of the pillar is the family. Too many parents are anti-academic or don't care enough to see that their kids have at least the same opportunities that the parents had at the same age (or better, where it should be). Fix the base, everything else becomes a lot easier.
