  It is serious and un-addressed flaw in most "equality of access" debates. Those who know people or have the education to use the system effectively will always have better opportunities than those without. It isn't a judgement or a bad thing, it's just the way it is. It what perpetuates the Old School Tie, understandably, and what creates inverted snobbery and ignorant resentment. And you cannot "un-educate" or "de-network" people, and you cannot seriously expect anyone NOT to use whatever skills and contacts they have to do the best for themselves and their families. It would be absurd. The best way to utilise people skills appropriately and fairly is to systemise it, to structure things so that those who can, do and are rewarded, and that in doing so others who cannot are enabled.
