THE PUBLICATION

of the right-wing Tory document 'Black Paper Two' heralds a period of wholesale attack on the education of working- class children and stu- dents. Whilst the views expressed in the document are not yet embraced by the Tory lead- ership, there is no doubt they are gaining ground. The Black Paper' occu- pies a similar position to Tory education policy as Enoch Powell's views do to Tory immigration policy. However, the thoroughly re- actionary views embodied in the document (see main points inset) are today meeting some strange "opposition' from those who are themselves busily en- gaged in slashing educational expenditure. We refer specifically to Labour Education Minister Edward Short and Miss Alice Bacon, who defended Labour's education cuts at the 1969 Brighton conference. War of words We must not be blinded by this war of words. Labour's education policy is holding open the door for the 'Black Paper' merchants just as Labour's immigration policy encouraged the reactionaries inside and outside the Tory Party. We must say clearly-there is fundamental agreement be- tween the Labour government and the Tories on the present education system of compre- hensive schools for the work- ing class and public schools for the ruling class. Secondly, there is in fact collaboration between the Labour government and Tory local councils on supplement- ing the current squeeze on expenditure at all levels of state-sponsored education.

Comprehensive education, threatened by the Black , was not an issue at the Paper', Tory Party conference. Revolt Tory big business feels at the moment that the cuts be- gun by Labour are the best way to dismantle working-class gains in education. The 'Black Paper' is above Whatever the cuts and changes in education schools and public schools. Above: A sc By Mark Jenkins all an expression of middle- class revolt. As always, this layer of society is squeezed between the power of the working class and monopoly capital in periods of upheaval. The middle class is being ground down into penury and bankruptcy by big capital and the economic squeeze. True to form it turns on the working class whom it blames for its plight. That is the meaning of pro- tecting excellence' and 'fight- ing mediocrity in tle 'Black Paper' The middle class wishes to preserve its petty privileges in the commercial and academic world. It boasts to its big that it is business masters 'more intelligent' than the working class and needs to be protected in separate grammar schools where its delicate 'in- telligence' can be nurtured.

Opposition Since much of its wealth has gone, it can now only offer mythical intelligence'. Hence the general opposition to com- prehensive education and the clamour to defend grammar schools. Whereas Labour's pledge to pass a Bill forcing a reluctant minority of education authori- ties to go comprehensive was a sop to the left wing, Boyle's pledge to the Tories to repeal it was a sop to the right-wing Tories who supported the 'Black Paper'. The Tories and the Wilson- ites are agreed that education -and for the majority of working-class children this means comprehensive educa- tion—must be cut as part of the attacks on the living stan- dards and wages of the work- ing class. Trained In the post-war period of inflationary boom, concessions were made to the powerful and confident working class. In Britain this took the form of the 'Welfare State'-the health free education and service, grants for working-class stud- ents. • The 1944 Education Act permitted working-class child- ren to gain scholarships to grammar schools and to pro- ceed later to universities and technical colleges. ges in education for working-class children, the upper • Above: A scene from Lindsay Anderson's film 'll

The Tory document 'Black Paper Two' is made up of contributions from a number of Tory educationists. Not all of them agree on every point. Here are some of its main points from different contributors: There are class differences in 'intelligence'. Working class children are born 'less intelligent'.

Encourage birth control for "less intelligent' people.

Use 'Intelligence Quotient' (1Q) tests to submerge 'mediocre' people and allow those of 'superior intelligence' to succeed.

Return to the bipartite system of secondary modern schools and re- store grammar schools on a direct grant basis. Restore fee paying and provide scholarships for 'poor' children who are 'intelligent.

Select by examination at 13.

Restore streaming and grading.

Reliance on 'chalk and talk' by teachers, opposition to 'discovery methods' of learning, return to basic skills of the 'three Rs'.

The average teacher is not 'intelligent' enough to use new methods.

Autonomy and less state interference in universities which are ex- panding too rapidly. Instill respect for authority throughout education.

Who are its authors? Rhodes Boyson, headmaster, Tory candidate for Eccles, ex-Labour councillor. G. Bantock, Professor of education at Leicester university.

Now, with monetary crises rocking the capitalist system to its foundations, the con- cessions of the welfare state period must be taken back from the working class. Edu- cation, which occupies a place high up in total government spending, is target number one. The Wilson government has used the Prices and Incomes Board to hold back teachers' thereby driving pay, many teachers to seek jobs • else- where. It has cut the rate-support grant to local authorities, encouraging Tory thereby councils to cut educational ex- penditure which is the biggest item of their budget. This has resulted in some boroughs in sacking part-time teachers (Coventry), reducing the supply teaching service and decreasing pupil-teacher ratios.

To defend the pound the government has raised bank rates to an all-time high, put- ting education authorities into crippling debt with the banks.

At the end of the first of 1969 the local quarter councils' outstanding tempor- ary debt reached £2,023 million compared with £933 million, eight years earlier.

Cut back It has cut back the school building programme in a series ot package deals to satisfy the international bankers. It has just recently abolished the maximum limits on class sizes and is investigating the possibility of a six-term year to cram students into the uni- versities to save money on new buildings. These actions have encour- aged the Tories even further.

nursery education on a fee pay- basis'. (Workers' Press, ing September 30). Behind Labour's cuts, and the Tories' proposed cuts, come the stone-age measures of the 'Black Paper'. It is a chain reaction. Miss Alice Bacon, by waving the 'Black Paper' in the eyes of Labour delegates at Brighton succeeded in defeating the agricultural workers' resolu- tion which correctly declared that the government's cuts would make this the worst year for education since the 1930s. In this way she uses the 'Black Paper' to attack educa- tion. This provides perfect cover 'for the lefts' to refrain from attacking government. the Either Wilson, they say, or the 'Black Paper'. The Communist Party, too, allows Wilson to get off the hook by calling for unity of 'progressives' to defend com- prehensive education from the 'Black Paper'. This presumably includes Short, Bacon and Wilson him- self, all 'supporters' of com- prehensive education. No dissent At the same time Stalinists National on the Union of Teachers' executive on Oct- ober 4 sat through a meeting 'quiet satis- which expressed faction' at the Coventry settle- in 133 ment, which resulted sacked part-time teachers and the 'most stringent cuts' in other fields of education.

No voice of dissent was raised. The meeting thanked those members of the execu- tive who conducted the nego- tiations ! The Stalinists may well find liberal - progressive their 'friends' performing some tricks in the near strange future. The 'Black Paper' was not unsympathetically reviewed by "The Teacher' (NUT journal) October 10: 'Black Paper Two contains a great deal of good sense.'

from selection at Il and the snobbery of the nationalized British Railways is Supplement of the same date, in which Professor Peters says: 'It might be argued that the "Black Papers" have done a service in making criticisms of current trends more accept- able.' If the teachers are not suc- cessful in their pay claim and Wilson's education cuts con- tinue unchallenged, the pres- sure in the class rooms will become unbearable for many teachers. There is not space in this article for analysis of the putrid philosophy of 'intelli- gence' behind the Black Paper' and its authoritarian leanings.

But thousands of teachers are coming into struggle against the Labour government's in- comes policy and education cuts. The teachers must find their place as allies of the working class to overturn the Wilson leadership in the labour move- ment. Only the development of a revolutionary leadership and the taking of power by the working class can open the road for the development of socialist comprehensive educa- tion for all and the ending of class privilege in education.
