Educational apartheid

Abstract

The state of disunity in Britain's educational system grows apace. Whatever views one might hold on the Crosland binary system, soundings reveal it to be regarded by those working in the non‐university sector as yet another example of the apartheid besetting education. From Snowism and two‐culture definitions it is a short step to the ‘separate but equal’ philosophy pursued by the Ministry. However, there appears on the scene more than one Bantustan. Not only do you have status imbalance in the schools system and technical education system, but fragmentation appears in colleges of education and between the technological universities and their broad‐based counterparts. Instead of one education lobby, there are several. Such confusion lends itself well to the policy makers of the DES working on a narrow budget.
