A new report has proposed turning most universities into "comprehensive universities" that, like comprehensive schools, are not allowed to select students based on academic ability but instead have a mixed ability intake. The author argues that the current structure's "obsession" with hierarchies and rankings, has become a barrier to meritocracy and is amplifying social segregation. A handful of elite "strategically important world‑class research universities" would remain unaffected. Would you support reforming the universities system in this way, or would you prefer to keep it as it is? Published on 20 July 2017 → Survey conducted on 20 July 2017 on 4391 GB adults
