Description
A Revolution Betrayed: How Egalitarians Wrecked the British Education System by Peter Hitchens explores the unintended consequences of attempts to create an egalitarian education system in the UK. The author argues that well-intentioned policies have led to increased class distinction and privilege, with parents spending thousands on private tutoring and fee-paying schools to secure their children's places at top academies. Meanwhile, politicians who advocate for equality often send their own children to expensive private schools. Hitchens examines the anomalies in the current system, including selective Sixth Form Colleges and academies that claim to be non-selective. He contends that these policies have created a system that is fundamentally at odds with its stated goals of equality.
