<p>The Ministry of Defence has made no recent assessment of the effect of social class
on promotion in the Armed Forces.</p><p>Armed Forces careers are built on merit, creating
an environment where success is determined by potential, effort and talent and not
by background. The skills, education and training an Armed Forces career provides
allows people the opportunity to progress and prosper not just while they serve, but
also once they transition back into civilian life.</p><p>With over 50,000 apprenticeships
during this Parliament, the Ministry of Defence are the UK's largest apprenticeship
provider. In addition, we commission our most talented soldiers, sailors and aircraftmen
and women, provide university bursary programmes and we recently announced the STEM
Graduate Inflow Scheme which will improve access to our technical graduate programme.</p>
