Více o knize

The book critiques the prevailing ideology of egalitarianism in educational policy in Britain and the USA, highlighting the inherent conflicts between this ideology and the pursuit of educational excellence. David E Cooper identifies key principles obscured by confusion and argues for the preservation of educational standards over the use of education as a means to achieve social equality. He specifically addresses the complexities surrounding concepts like 'equal opportunities', 'social mix', and 'reverse discrimination', emphasizing the need for clarity in educational discussions.
