Originally published in 1975 How They Fared looks at some of the effects of ‘going comprehensive’. The book's investigation provides information about the inflow of students from comprehensive schools. In what way do these students differ from their fellows from selective establishments? What does this tell us about the relationship between school and university? Do comprehensive school students differ in in their reasons for entering higher education from the more ‘traditional’ pattern of university students? The book seeks to answer these questions by examining the effects of the changing pattern of secondary education upon the university.
