From the abstract:
"HEPI’s last foray into the debate on academic selection suggested grammar schools are successful in helping their poorer pupils reach highly-selective universities.
In this response, a diverse set of voices use the latest evidence to challenge the idea that grammar school systems serve pupils better than comprehensive schools.
This collection of essays also asks what lessons comprehensive schools might offer for the UK’s highly selective university system."
