Primarily for the AS class, here are a selection of articles relating to class, meritocracy and education.
It took about ten mins on Google to collect all these, most of them were linked to each other on the Guardian website so I just followed those. They are very useful as additional reading to broaden your knowledge for the exam and life in general. The more you read, the more you know and the better you can do in your exams! Of course, you are free to ignore them and remain in your present position, i.e shrouded in a thick fog of ignorance. A really good student would read them and take notes, particularly relating to studies mentioned, statistics, examples, the author and source of the article and a general summary of what the article is about. I know, it's a crazy idea but it just might work!
Read them here...
