The Wages of Skill: When the financial incentive to train is negative — not just slight — what remains?

Abstract

In any discussion with students, either individually or collectively, it soon becomes apparent that most of them suffer to some extent from two main troubles: first, a feeling of lack of prospects in their jobs and, second, a feeling of boredom with their work. Because of this the writer has long held the view that, so far as very many students in Further Education are concerned, it is unwise to stream students using ability (i.e. I.Q.) as the basis of selection.
