Page "Old boy network" Paragraph 10

In the United Kingdom, the network exists primarily within alumni of the Eton Group and the Rugby Group public schools, as well as having affiliation with Oxford University and / or Cambridge University.

Such a network is often blamed for an apparent high proportion of former pupils of these schools and graduates of these universities in high status positions in government, business, and the professions.

An organisation called Future First is trying to push the use of these networks in state schools.
