social mobility is great when it's not tied to economic mobility. They try and do that here in the states at a macro level and I'm not sure it's effective. Moving the rights of groups like the #metoo'ers based on their perceived oppression. should granting more mobility be based on income class, aptitude, education, color, gender, etc. who knows? I think if we're going to go Macro the class should reflect the highest level organized that is desired to be affected. Similar to nationalists in that we should all be Americans in America at the macro level and then increase social mobility for Americans. Then you could go to the micro level to the individual or family and say the under-privileged individuals and families need an increase in social mobility, which I believe is the goal of welfare. The problem is neither of the qualifiers for any of those classifications is clearly defined, nor is the support qualified.
I think education about the social strata and policies of this like are important, perhaps more important than an MBA in horticulture with regard to improving awareness, but I'm not sure that a meritocracy based on education level is any more likely to be a successful measure of what is worth of merit.
Perhaps smaller incentives with clearer defined criteria and a practical working out of the loopholes. Did you see the article about medium-to-rich kids getting emancipated just to get scholarships. People are going to exploit the loopholes so the smaller the impact the easier to manage and then widen it out gradually.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
