Comprehensive is beyond comprehension

Abstract

There are a number of parallels and a number of differences between schools and factories. Both have to be managed well to bring maximum effort and ‘production’ out of the labour force but the product of schools is not easily measurable nor is it likely to be increased by mechanisation or scientific advance. It is as well to recognise these two areas of difference when people talk about business management courses for teachers and the growth of educational technology.
