| dc.description.abstract | The method of selecting students for secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago has undergone changes in recent years. The modifications have been effective in that they permit access to a larger number of students; they, nevertheless, accommodate some of the former practice of elitism in the selection process. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the degree to which the logic of contest and/or the logic of sponsorship, as propounded by Turner (1960), prevails in the Common Entrance Examination (CEE) that must be written by all students as a means of gaining access to secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago. It examines the possible consequences of the patterns of mobility detected in the examination system | |
