Description

Determined to Succeed? Performance versus Choice in Educational Attainment by Michelle Jackson is a comprehensive examination of socio-economic inequalities in educational attainment. The book investigates how differences in academic performance between socio-economic groups and the choices made by students from these groups contribute to inequalities in educational outcomes. A cross-national approach combines in-depth studies by country specialists with chapters discussing empirical, methodological, and theoretical aspects of educational inequality. By exploring the roles of performance and choice in generating inequalities, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex factors at play in shaping educational attainment.
