Comprehensive Education in England and Wales, 1944-1991.

Tomlinson, J. R. G.

European Journal of Education, v26 n2 p103-17 Jun 1991

Two views of the introduction of comprehensive secondary education into England and Wales are examined: that it is an episode connected directly to postwar building of the welfare state, and destined to fail; and represents a fundamental and permanent shift in the perception of what secondary education should attempt.
