To achieve this, they let the parents choose the school for their children instead of just send them to the local schools. This was supposed to make the school crave for better results and make them compete. If the schools wanted to keep on having students, they now had to show good results, because no parents will send their children to a bad school. That means that the best schools can pick their students, obviously they choose the best ones. Some schools, like the grammar schools, require a good result on the 11+.
The coeducation and the segregation by sex of the student in any educational place, either high school or university, is one of the most controversial topics in the Middle East and now in the United States. The coeducation is the integrated education of males and females in the same institution. There are some associations over the world did some statistics and researches about this topic. This is topic is important because the coeducational school might affect the educational level of the student. I realized some of the results of the coeducational schooling since I was in the middle school so, I like to do some researches and find more information about it.
Using material from item A and elsewhere assess the view that social class differences in educational achievement are the result of school processes such as labelling. Some sociologists would explain the social class differences in educational achievement as being caused by internal factors. These are factors within schools and the education system that could cause these differences. One internal factor is labelling. To label someone is to attach a meaning or definition to them.
This bought on Marketisation where schools try to attract other students by raising standards to show they are most successful. On the other hand, sociologists disagree as most educational reforms have not helped all students, only some or wasn’t very effective enough to help improve educational experiences. For example, the Foster Act wasn’t very helpful as the teaching was dire and students were less successful therefore resulted them in having weak qualifications and bad experiences. The Butler Act system with the 11+ exam was mostly based on middle class children therefore they had a better chance than working class. This was unequal as they had an advantage even though the test was the same.
This controversial issue paper will give you some insights on the past of our vast system of public education. Public education in the 1800’s went from non-existent to a broad system incorporating rich, poor, African Americans, and women. I will be discussing how Thomas Jefferson brought to the attention to the people of how public education will help shape society for a better future.

Issues in Multicultural Education Dionne Golden EDU 230 5/11/2014 Jamie Morris Issues in Multicultural Education Student population in the United States has become culturally diverse, so it is imperative that educators provide an equitable education for all students. Cultural pluralism must be the goal in education in all educational experiences provided to students. This paper will explore concerns and challenges in multicultural education in the United States. Some of the things that pose a problem in multicultural education are; intuitional and programmatic reform, in particular the politics, teacher recruitment and how to address the increase of a culturally diverse student population, and what an effective teacher education program would do for multicultural education.

Marxists would also say that the National Curriculum does not ensure a standard education throughout the education system because the education system places more value on middle class knowledge than on working class knowledge and so they are disadvantaged and receive a different education to other classes. Bernstein would also argue that due to the elaborated code used by the middle class, the education received by middle class children is different and more fluid because they are more likely to understand everything the teacher says. Nationwide exams (SATs, GCSEs, and A Levels) and literary tests also support the
One of the arguments of co-education is the idea that it provides too many distractions for students. Several scholars have argued that these distractions have led to less attention on school work and class participation, due to girls and boys trying to impress each other. Furthermore, it has also been argued that students who are intimidated by the opposite sex may also be affected by low performance and low grades. Many educators believe that single-sex education does not enforce any type of gender-based stereotypes or adolescent subculture. Due to this, single-sex schools have been established to combat these issues.
