The issues surrounding the academic under-performance of the government secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago, compared with the denominational assisted schools have been debated for many years. In this masterly study, Professor Ramesh Deosaran examines the nature and dimensions of inequality in opportunities for education, and their relationship to gender, race, family background and socio-economic status, and demonstrates that unequal opportunities and outcomes are embedded in the country's education system - a legacy from the colonial past that institutionalised a system of schools run by the government and those run by religious denominations but supported by the state.
