Can privilege be bought? Arguments have raged over whether private
education in the UK is 'the cement in the wall' dividing British
society, or whether parental choice is, as has also been argued 'a
key component of a free society'. The author here describes the
traditional private sector schools, paying attention to the ways in
which parents can purchase privilege for their children through
attendance at such schools. He argues that the privatized system is
kept under tight control if a growth in social and educational
inequality and a deepening of social class and ethnic group
division is to be avoided. The book is unique in combining an
account of private schools in Britain with an examination of the
process of privatization.
