EDUCATION AND ELITISM IN BRITAIN EXPO This year, more than 170,000 teenagers found themselves left out of the schooling system and could not enter any university. This fact is all the more astonishing due to the success rate obtained at A-Levels (the equivalent of the baccalauréat in France). Indeed, 97.6% of the students obtained their A-Level (contrary to around 85% in France), but a quarter out of the 647 000 students who applied for university were not accepted. This observation is a proof

supporters of traditional education who do not think online education is a valid substitute for a traditional classroom setting. In reality, online education can be just as demanding as a more common education and are better suited for working adults.

From Brown v. Board of Education (1954) to Williams v. California (2004), the American education has proven to be a subject of a heated debate between the courts, the federal government, parents and the different racial groups in the US. Desegregation, busing, funding policies, school vouchers, charter schools, school choice and integration are key issues throughout the history of American education. The goal of these reforms is an equal educational system that could provide all the students –regardless

Should kids be paid to go to school? Time Magazine seems shocked by a “pilot program”  that "started this month at three vocational high schools in disadvantaged suburbs of Paris.” According to the American-based journal, accounts, like bank accounts, will be set up for two classes in each school, each containing approximately €3,000 euro.
