Abstract

Can the children of disadvantaged minority groups in cities receive a decent education that enables them to succeed in our competitive market economy without damaging their self-respect or sense of group identity?

Professor Morgan considers the conflicting value priorities which underlie these rival approaches to urban education policy and examines the possibility of reconciling them.
