SOCIAL POLICY

 The 1944 Tripartite System

o Main aims

 Selective education – students would
receive a different education dependent
on their ability. All students would sit a
test at age 11 (the 11+) to determine their
ability and sift them into the right type of
school.

 Equality of opportunity – All students in
England and Wales have a chance to sit
the 11 + . Previous to 1944, the only
pupils who could get a good, academic
equation were those who could afford it.

o Details of the Act

 Students took an IQ test at 11, the result
of which determined which one of three
types of school they would attend:

 The top 20% went to grammar schools,
received an academic education and got
to sit exams.

,  The bottom 80% went to secondary
moderns. These provided a more basic
education, and initially students didn’t sit
any exams.

 There were also technical schools which
provided a vocational education, but
these died out fairly quickly.

o Evaluations

 There were class inequalities – grammar
schools were mainly taken up by the
middle classes and secondary moderns by
the lower classes.

 The IQ test determined pupils futures at a
very young age – no room for those who
developed later in life.

 Some of the secondary moderns had very
low standards and labelled 80% of pupils
as failures.
