Abstract

The article explores the challenges being faced by Great Britain's traditional education system in the competitive second half of the Twentieth Century. The country's education system is based on Nineteenth Century concepts of training a ruling group from the upper and middle classes. The overhaul of the education system has emerged as a critical issue in the 1964 parliamentary elections. The British are currently evaluating U.S. and Russian education systems.
