I understand and completely agree with you that it’s harder for people who are working class but all my family went to uni and we are all working class. My mum and my uncle were the first people from our family to go to uni and they went because they got grants. Otherwise they couldn’t have
What I am trying to say is that if education was accessible for all there would be less barriers. I remember when I was at uni there was a girl who accessed the Uni hardship fund as both her parents were unemployed and couldn’t help her over and above the grants she got. That was in 1989 and my the time my wee brother went to uni in 1996 there were no grants and loans were what people relied on
Ive personally never had an issue with public transport or GP services but absolutely these days it is harder to access further education if your family don’t have money. In Scotland tuition fees are free and hopefully that helps remove some barriers to education
