TL;DR: The sequence of four educational stages is reflected historically by the four types of school organisation as discussed by the authors, which is not only used in the context of comparative education, but even in the day-to-day context of school planning and school administration.
Abstract: Education, from childhood to adulthood, is usually organised in different stages. Traditionally, we speak of primary education and secondary education as two separate stages. Postsecondary education, i.e. university or the equivalent, is called the tertiary stage while school for the youngest children is called the pre-primary stage. Thus the sequence of four educational stages is reflected historically by the four types of school organisation. These terms are not only used in the context of comparative education, but even in the day-to-day context of school planning and school administration. They form the basis of teacher training, teacher allocation and teacher responsibility. Indeed, they are so much a part of everyone's consciousness that we even refer to the physical structure as a 'primary school' if that is where primary education is carried out, and as a 'secondary school' if the provision is secondary education.

TL;DR: The aim has been to achieve a situation, considered just, in which merely being born into a specific family, with a particular economic, social, and cultural level, does not predetermine or even predestine the possibilities of the individual for attaining a certain level of education as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: 1. Introduction Equality of opportunity in education is an objective supported nowadays by all ideological viewpoints, all political parties, and all countries; a political program is inconceivable today that does not include among its points a promise to establish, or at least to struggle to establish, equality of all citizens with regard to access to the various levels of education — both primary and secondary general compulsory education, and other levels that are not mandatory — independently of the economic and social position of the candidates. This ideal, however, is far from being a reality throughout the entire world, though there can be no doubt that more progress has been made in some places than in others; the aim has been to achieve a situation, considered just, in which merely being born into a specific family, with a particular economic, social, and cultural level, does not predetermine or even predestine the possibilities of the individual for attaining a certain level of education.
