In advanced industrial societies there tends to be an increasingly close tie between education and occupation. Educational selection becomes selection for career and ultimately positions of social prestige and power. In his ' essay on education and equality' Dr. Young has painted a satirical pIcture of a society in which current trends have been pursued to their logical extreme.
