An Equal Chance: Equalities and inequalities of educational opportunity / Edition 1

This book, first published in 1971, provides an account of educational and social services, their functions, and how they relate to each other. It discusses their problems and makes constructive and original proposals for their future development. Taking the child and its needs as their central theme, the authors go beyond superficial organisational matters to consider fundamental issues that profoundly affect the future of the nation's children. This title will be of interest to students of sociology and education.
