The system of student grants and student loans is found to have a small impact on the social inequalities in the educational system, but the most important factor is the choice students make for their secondary education. The choice of secondary education is still strongly related to social class, social and cultural capital, so even though the system of student grants and student loans has an impact on social inequalities, it is weak and at best slightly compensatory.
