Britain's most prestigious boarding schools are enrolling one foreign student for every five new pupils amid school fee rises that are 'squeezing' the middle class.

随着学费上涨，英国最著名的寄宿学校每招收五个新生中就有一个是外国学生，本国中产阶层学生的数量被“挤压。

Institutions such as Eton and Wellington College, Bedales School in Hampshire and Malvern St James Girls' School are taking in foreign students at a higher rate than ever before, according to a Sunday Telegraph survey.

《星期日电讯报》的一份调查报告显示，伊顿公学、惠灵顿学院、位于汉普郡的比得莱斯学校以及莫尔文圣詹姆斯女子学校等招收的外国学生比例都已达到史上最高。

News of the changing demographics comes just days after Eton headmaster Tony Little warned middle-class families were being 'squeezed' out of the country's elite institutions because they could no longer afford the fees.

伊顿公学校长托尼•里德曾发出警示，英国中产家庭由于支付不起日益增加的学费正被“挤出精英学校。几天后，有关学生构成变化的消息就被公布。

He said schools were in danger of being ‘polarised’, with only the very rich able to pay and only the very poor able to obtain bursaries.
