Inherent in the educational policies of most countries are concerns to make education both more efficient and more equitable. In theory these goals are not incompatible. However this book examines the reasons why, in practice, the harmonization of equity and efficiency has not proved feasible.
First Published in 1986. With the rapidly shrinking size of our world in relation to travel, communication and business, together with the important virtues of truth, justice and equality, the demand for education to reflect positively all races of people and to make a concerted attack against stereotypes, negative and racist attitudes to some races is at last becoming commonplace. The book is in the main written for student teachers, practising teachers (probationers and experienced) and teacher trainers who will find this volume of immense use from a practical point of view.

It also tells you how to prepare for the two day inspection so that everything goes as well as possible.
