Education and Equality: Some Conceptual Questions.
Wilson, John
Oxford Review of Education, v17 n2 p223-30 1991
Urges a rethinking of equality regarding education. Emphasizes that equal access to education will not provide equality of ability. Suggests that educational administration somehow must select and foster excellence in those of ability while promoting fraternity and maintenance of dignity among everyone. Recommends cooperation between philosophers and clinical psychologists. (DK)
