The Nexus of Equality and Quality in Education: A Framework for Debate.
Smith, William J.; Lusthaus, Charles
Canadian Journal of Education, v20 n3 p378-91 Sum 1995
The paradox that schools should promote equality of opportunity for minority students and quality education for majority students, but that they cannot foster both goals at once, is explored. Discarding the current definitions makes it possible to propose a model in which equality and quality are mutually supporting and enhancing. (SLD)
