Description
Engines of Privilege: Britain's Private School Problem is a thought-provoking examination of the role of private schools in British society. Written by David Kynaston and Francis Green, this book reveals how these institutions perpetuate inequality and limit social mobility.
The authors argue that despite claims of equality of opportunity, the educational apartheid between private and state schools deploys national resources unfairly and blocks social progress. With a focus on options for change, Engines of Privilege offers a powerful analysis of the impact of private schools on British society.
Clear and vigorous prose combines with forensic analysis to illuminate the painful contrast between the importance of private schools in Britain and the lack of serious debate around their role. This book is an excoriating account of the inequalities perpetuated by Britain's love affair with private education.
