Remember that going to university on average gives a considerble salary increase after your education, with current numbers. That indicates that the market is not flooded as of yet (aka numbers can go higher than currently).
20-30% as mentioned.

The reality of the UK education system is you need at least BBB at A level or equivalent to qualify on a course for a "good" university.

I'm pretty certain that statistically 30% of all A level students roughly earn themselves a B in a designated subject, obviously it varies per subject though. For example a B in something like History is always going to be worth more than an A in media studies.

Round about 20% will get themselves an A grade as well so yes, 20-30 sounds about right.
