STUDY ON ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS A SYSTEM OF REPRODUCTION OF ELITES

1为了维持作为精英再生产系统的公立学校制度，英国学术精英试图将外部考试制度置于他们的影响之下。它剥夺了工人阶级子女接受高等教育的机会。2一直占主导地位的英国教育思想的主要特征就是个人主义。比如伊顿公学，就是最典型的精英学校。学习过程是非常个性化的，评估程序是非常发达的标准。教学和评估是分开的。没有地方发展孩子们一起学习的想法。这种思想在英国社会中仍然占主导地位，不仅是公立学校，而且是私立学校。我们必须重新审视工党在1910年和20年代为向所有人打开中学大门而使用智商测试的想法。在历史语境中，这一思想与以经典为基础的外在考试制度相对抗。4我们必须对大学文凭进行考试。5我们必须批判工人阶级文化理论，以寻求未来教育的可能性。

1 In order to maintain the Public School System as elites reproduction system, English academic elites tried keeping the external examination system under their influences. It deprived the working classes children of the opportunity to access for higher education.2 The main characteristic feature of the English education thought that has been dominant is the very individualism. For example, the Eton College was the most typical school for the elites. The process of learning is very individualistic and assessment procedure was very developed according to the standards. Teaching and assessment were separated. There was no place to develop the idea that children learn something together. This kind of thought has been still dominant in English society not only Public Schools but also maintained schools.3 We have to re-exam the idea of using IQ tests in order to open the door of the secondary school to everyone in 1910's and '20's by the Labor party. In the historical context, this idea was fought against external exam system which based on classics.4 We have to exam university curriculum.5 We have to criticize the working class culture theory in order to seek for the possibility of education in future.
