Abstract

This neglect was forcefully stated by British sociologists of education (Young, 1971). Sociologists, they argued, should treat 'the knowledge ("transmitted" in education) as neither absolute, nor arbitrary, but as "available sets of meanings" which in any context do not merely "emerge" but are collectively "given"' (Young, 1971, p. 3).
