A historian, looking back on the past 15 years in European educational development, will probably see it as a watershed. Expansion in the numbers of children opting for extended secondary education was perhaps the most visible expression of the change. It was not the only one however. By the end of the decade, three main tendencies emerged in the development of secondary education. The first involved those countries where selection for 'academic' tracks was progressively delayed. Such was the case in France, Norway and Sweden, for instance. The second involved an increase in the numbers of school students in a particular age group entering those streams that, ultimately, lead to higher education. Such was the trend observable in Germany and the Netherlands. A third tendency emerged in Austria, Denmark, England and Wales. In these four countries, the number of school leavers qualified to enter higher education increased whilst, simultaneously, a fall in the number of early leavers and drop outs was noticeable [1]. However, changes in the structure and organization of secondary education remained often without response from higher education. During the greater part of the 1960s higher education was less the vehicle for educational reform than the recipient of innovation from lower down the education system. Government policy tended to content itself with providing more places without seeking either to alter the structure, or the traditional position of the university as the apex of the educational pyramid. Thus, change in secondary education merely underlined a fundamental issue, namely the right of the university through its entry conditions to exercise a defacto control over secondary schools
