Which of the following was Ottway's view on "Education and Social Change" ?
Answer: D
The key takes option (D), that educational change and social change are interdependent, with no way to say which causes which. This is the position of an interactive view: schools are shaped by society, and schools in turn help to change it, so the causal direction cannot be fixed. Option (A) claims education changes society, which is a one-way claim. Option (B) claims educational change only follows social change, which is a one-way claim in the other direction. Option (C) says the two are independent, which contradicts the fact that schools are social institutions. Some readers attribute the view in (B) to Ottaway, so this item rests on the key's reading.
