that's going to be politically suicide to implement.
my father went to high school in rural Illinois in the late 60’s. He got a full ride “hardship grant” simply because he was a decent (not exceptional) student and came from a poor farming family.
But then, the UK fcked over a lot of its trades to become a "service economy", so who knows.
