The Origin of the Binary System.
Godwin, C. D.
History of Education: The Journal of the History of Education Society, v27 n2 p171-91 Jun 1998
Explores the pattern of British higher education, known as the binary system, from the 1960s to the 1980s through the exploration of two questions: (1) Why did the binary solution appear to officials not just desirable, but necessary?; and (2) How did the officials ensure that the "necessary" solution became government policy?
