Universities must cut private schools intake, says Simon Hughes

Universities should drastically limit their intake of privately educated pupils if they want to charge undergraduates up to £9,000 a year, says the government's adviser on access to higher education.
Simon Hughes, also the Liberal Democrat deputy leader, warns that universities need to be far more active in seeking out the brightest state school pupils.
He said: "I think my message to the universities is: You have gained quite a lot in the settlement. Yes, you've lost lots of state money, but you've got another revenue stream that's going to protect you. You now have to deliver in turn. You cannot expect to go on as you are. It has failed miserably."
