Severing the Links between School Performance and Careers: the Experience of China's Urban Schools, 1968-1976.
Unger, Jonathan
Comparative Education, v20 n1 p93-102 1984
Discusses the attempt, during China's Cultural Revolution (1968-1976), to sever links between school performance, often dependent on social class, and admission to higher education and resulting upward mobility. Most students then felt it useless to study because success or failure at school work had no bearing on their future. (MH)
