Sponsored and Contest Mobility Revisited: An Examination of Britain and the USA Today.
Morgan, Harriet P.
Oxford Review of Education, v16 n1 p39-54 1990
Examines the conceptual framework of sponsored and contest mobility originated by Ralph H. Turner to illuminate student educational mobility in the British and U.S. educational systems in 1960. Concludes that today entry into U.S. higher education is determined by demand rather than ability but entry into the British higher education system is more selective, limiting access. (SLM)
