Nice idea you have my vote, but it's never going to happen. No matter how good state schools are or become, they will never be able to compete with Harrow, Eton and the like because they haven't got the "elite" also known as the Establishment giving them their patronage. You would have to create a society where everybody gets the same opportunity regardless of their background, accent, gender, colour and solely based on ability. which the Establishment don't want.
You only have to look at the banking crisis of a few years ago. Not one bank has been brought to account for their actions, We found money to bail them out but get no return from the money the taxpayers put in. Instead the blame was directed at the poorest people in society- the homeless, the disabled, the unemployed who, via the Establishment controlled media, have been turned into lazy feckless scroungers. And yes, I know there's a whole argument to be had about people fiddling benefits but compared to the amount lost by tax avoidance it's peanuts.
I could go on- Hillsborough cover up, The Goddard enquiry, Jimmy Saville who used his connections to the elite to pursue his heinous crimes, Cyril Smith, who was part of the Establishment, Rupert Murdoch telling John Major, a British Prime Minister "I will bring you down" And if you get bored one day, google Ted Heath.
Sorry, rant over. The system is rotten.
