ABSTRACT
The intimate connection of education with the social system, which has been emphasised in the foregoing pages is, of course, asserted almost too definitely by all communists. Pinkevitch quotes from Lenin a passage on the schools of Western capitalist countries:
'The more cultured was a bourgeois State,the more subtly it deceived, asserting that the school can remain outside of politics and thus serve society as a whole. In reality the school was wholly an instrument of class domination in the hands of the bourgeoisie; it was throughout permeated with the spirit of caste; and its aim was to give to the capitalists obliging serfs and competent workers.'
