Our education system is going through a period of extraordinary upheaval. The Government's demand that selection be abolished and comprehensive education introduced in all state schools has resulted in a mixture of jubilation and fury. Some local authorities have agreed, some say they cannot afford the change, and a handful have defiantly refused.

But when the shouting is over, how does a fully comprehensive system work? How do the teachers, parents and children feel about it? Are the fears about size and falling standards justified?

Julian Pettifer reports from Sheffield, a town with five years' comprehensive experience, on how 'equality of opportunity' in education actually works out.

Presented by David Dimbleby
