Abstract

This study analyzes the advances and limits of measures to  make education in France more democratic, above all in the  second
half of the twentieth century. It
analyzes the implications of new
technologies, of the establishmenteffect
of education and of the
sectoral-effect in decreasing school
inequalities. Establishing a
relationship between the increase
in educational opportunities and
employment rates, the study
indicates that despite substantial
changes in educational systems
and the consequent increase in the
levels of education of the French
population, social inequalities
persist, showing that the school still
exercises an important role in social
reproduction.
