Educational Inequality and Academic Achievement in England and France.
Lees, Lynn Hollen
Comparative Education Review, v38 n1 p65-87 Feb 1994
In both France and England, students scored in the middle-to-high ranks on the International Assessment of Educational Progress, with large gaps between low and high achievers. Despite attempts to democratize education, educational achievement in both countries continues to be strongly linked to parents' social background, with limited access to elite schools. (KS)
