Professor C. B. Cox argues that The Notion of Equality is a Threat to Education

Equality of opportunity - of access to all levels of education based on merit - has to some extent been achieved. But some educationalists believe this is not enough, that it still leaves society divided into two unequal classes. They want 'education for fraternity' and the teaching of working-class culture in our schools which, they say, are dominated by middle-class values.

Professor Cox believes this notion of equality is a threat to the high culture and standards which education has traditionally provided. He argues his case before an invited audience in the theatre of the Royal Institution, London, with: Dr A.H. Halsey, Director of the Department of Social Studies, Oxford University, and other critics.
