Old-fashioned selection for talent and achievement has been vindicated by Morocco's LYDEX, a lycée that selects (the old-fashioned way) the best and brightest regardless of background across the country. LYDEX has now become the boogeyman of French prépas as it is now ts ranked among their top 10 and provided a sizeable part of Polytechnique's intake. When combined that social diversity ane mobility in French higher education was its highest in the late 50's, ie before the 68 tossers set out to improve it, this becomes a damning indictment, from which the whole education pedagogy crowd should not escape alive
