"Sheffield - a city of class division."

"Among the data released today are statistics showing that Sheffield has 
both some of the highest and some of the lowest numbers of 18 year olds 
going on to higher education.

"One constituency, Sheffield Hallam, is near the top of the table, while 
another constituency, Sheffield Brightside, is at the very bottom. 
Sheffield Brightside is the constituency of David Blunkett.

"In 2000, 62% of Sheffield Hallam's 18 year olds went on to higher 
education, putting it fourth in the table behind constituencies like 
Kensington and Chelsea. In contrast, only 8% of 18 year olds in 
Sheffield Brightside moved on to higher education, a 1% drop from 1997."

The true meaning of life is to plant trees,
under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
