Lets get real... the main thing being that, rich or poor, the person involed has to have the qualifications to even apply for a place at Uni...now there's no way anyone can tell me that a kid from a less well off family has the same chance as one from parents that can afford to pay for the best education at the earliest age.. I've known very bright kids that had fantastic potential let down when they ended up at bad state secondary schools with bad reputations and frankly not very good teachers...these schools are predominatly in areas were incomes are low... there's no doubt that if you can afford to pay for your kids education .. they have a much better chance of Uni
