Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the impact of selective education systems, where individuals are selected for higher education based on their ability to excel in specific subjects. The author traces the historical evolution of these systems and argues that they emerged from the need to sort workers into specialized roles in a society based on division of labor. The book highlights how the desire for upward mobility and the fear of social decline have shaped the development of these systems, leading to a narrowing of the curriculum and an emphasis on memorization over critical thinking and practical skills. The author also discusses the negative consequences of such systems, such as the discouragement of creativity and innovation and the creation of a class of "educated" individuals who lack the practical knowledge and skills needed to make meaningful contributions to society. Ultimately, the book challenges the effectiveness of selective education systems in achieving their stated goals and advocates for a more comprehensive and equitable approach to education that recognizes the diverse talents and needs of all learners. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
