ABSTRACT
Equality of opportunities is an ideal for students and
teachers, and it is the responsibility of educational
managers to ensure that the ideal is put into practice. In
the UK, the inclusion of Citizenship as part of the
compulsory core curriculum for older secondary age pupils in
England and Wales has endorsed the importance attached to
issues of rights and equal opportunities. This study is an
attempt to highlight some definitions, policies and
management of equal opportunities in mainstream schools of
England. One of the London boroughs school was selected for
in-depth interviews. I concluded that the management of
equal opportunities lies at the heart of the management of
any educational institution through the articulation of
values. The care with which these values are then put into
place should be evident through the operation of human
resource management applications of recruitment appointment,
induction, mentoring and appraisal, and professional
development. Equally decision made about the management of
the curriculum, particularly attitude to inclusion and
expectations of pupils will tend to mirror the importance
placed on the development of equal opportunities.
