Wow.

'Equitable access to education'?

A higher education system that is 'representative of the broad community'?

Isn't it refreshing to know that social stratification continues to be reproduced and confirmed by Victorian universities?

The message: if you want educational success, and scholarship chances, ensure you exhibit the appropriate (learned) cultural and social capital courtesy of a thoroughly inequitable secondary education system.

Otherwise - bad luck.

To all recent VCE graduates from public schools - how does it feel to be perpetually disadvantaged beyond your control? Fun, isn't it?

Someone's bitter.
