Equality and Education: Fact and Fiction

Eysenck, H. J.

Oxford Review of Education, 1, 1, 51-58, 75

It is concluded that equality of endowment is a myth dreamed up for ideological and political reasons. Educational policies must not be dictated by such fictions which fail to take into account biological reality. More quantitative studies are required to make equality of opportunity a concrete and realistic ideal. (EH)
