State schools in England : why social segregation and inequality still thrives in a ‘comprehensive’ system (2014)
Journal Article
Stevens, R., & Hope, M. (2014). State schools in England : why social segregation and inequality still thrives in a ‘comprehensive’ system. Scuola democratica : learning for democracy, 0 - 0. https://doi.org/10.12828/77687

There is overwhelming evidence that England’s education system is built on and sustains complex patterns of inequality. A ‘comprehensive’ system, introduced in 1965, was never fully implemented and so remains as an aspiration rather than a reality. F...
