A contradiction sits at the heart of the British education system, and most particularly the English one. This has been the case since most secondary schools in England switched from a selective system to a comprehensive one in the 1960s. The contradiction is that the mixed-ability principle was never extended to higher education, which continues to be highlystratified. Entry to a handful of elite institutions remains the ultimate prize.

英国教育体系的核心存在着一个矛盾，尤其是英格兰的教育体系。英国大多数中学在20世纪60年代从选修系统转变为综合系统以来，情况一直如此。矛盾在于，综合能力原则从未延伸到高等教育，高等教育仍然是高度阶级化的。进入少数几所精英院校仍然是最终目标。

As schools policy sought to create a less divided society, in which people from different backgrounds were expected to mix, universities (and the policymakers overseeing them) have clung to hierarchies. Admissions data over decades has shown these to be social as well as intellectual, with the more affluent claiming a disproportionate share of places.

虽然学校政策寻求创造一个减少分化的社会，希望不同背景的人能够相互融合，但是大学（以及监管学校的政策制定者)一直在坚持等级制度。几十年的录取数据显示出这一等级制度的社会及智力属性，更富裕的人群在录取学生中占据了更高的比重。

The development of a newcadreof super-selective state sixth forms, which the government has promised to accelerate as part of its levelling up strategy, is designed to address this. Comprehensives struggle to compete with thehothouseconditions of independent and grammar schools, some of which have links to Oxbridgedating backcenturies. A few academically elite sixth forms have had striking successes.

If the aim is to boost the chances of a handful ofunderprivilegedteenagers getting their hands on one of these golden tickets, teaching them in a highly competitive environment might seem to make sense. The problem is that the purpose of post-16 education is much broader than this. We need a system that benefits society overall, including by putting more resources behind improvedvocationaloptions, as advocated by the three-year-old Augar review.

如果目标是提高少数贫困阶级青少年拿到这些黄金入场券（牛津剑桥等名校）的机会，那么在一个竞争非常激烈的环境中让他们接受教育似乎很有道理。问题是，16岁以上人群的教育目标远不止于此。我们需要一个对整个社会都有利的体系，包括像三年前奥格尔报告所倡导的那样，把更多的资源投放到改善职业选择上。

Of course, competition is part of life, which young people must learn to cope with. The brightest sixth-formers in poor areas have every right to aim high. But increased selection brings defeats as well as successes. And there are good reasons to defer painful experiences of rejection (the impact of failing the 11-plus was one reason why comprehensives replaced grammars in the first place). This is all the more pressing given extremely worrying evidence about young people’s declining mental health.

当然，竞争是生活的一部分，年轻人必须学会应对。贫困地区最聪明的六年级学生也完全有权利去设定更高的目标。但是，选择增加不止会带来成功，也会遭致失败。我们有充分的理由推迟被拒绝的痛苦经历（不能顺利通过11 +考试的影响，是综合学校最初取代文法学校的原因之一)。鉴于年轻人逐渐恶化的心理健康状况，这一状况就显得尤为紧迫。
