Abstract

Almost one quarter of a sample of ex-sixth-formers were highly critical of the careers and educational guidance offered by their schools, in a recent National Foundation for Educational Research survey (Ken Fogelman: Leaving the Sixth Form — obtainable from NFER, Book Publishing Division, 2, Jennings Buildings, Thames Avenue, Windsor, Berks). Typical comments were:— 'Sixth-formers who do not opt for university or to a lesser extent teacher training are regarded more or less as second class citizens by teachers.'
