    Bias and vested Interest

    Read the text on the global topic of education for all and answer the following question:
    Why might this statement be biased?

    The school has a really good reputation and some famous people have graduated
    from there; politicians and business people. It has an amazing history. It is also
    set in beautiful grounds and the sports’ facilities are excellent, but there are many
    other good schools that provide a decent standard of education. This school is
    really just caters for local families. I wouldn’t try applying if you don’t live locally as
    competition is fierce. As we live nearby, my son should get a place there next
    year.
