A New 11-Plus for the Old Divided System.

Benn, Caroline

Forum for the Discussion of New Trends in Education, v22 n2 p36-42 Spr 1980

The author sees a return to elitism in the educational policies of Britain's present Conservative Government. She analyzes two Parliamentary bills designed to reverse the 1976 comprehensive schools act and, in the name of parent choice, to establish new selective secondary school entry rules and to subsidize private education.
