Description

Diane Reay brings a unique perspective to this exploration of education and class inequality. Drawing on over 500 interviews with working-class individuals, she examines how social mobility is perceived and experienced in schools today. Reay's work builds upon the pioneering research of Brian Jackson and Dennis Marsden, updating their findings from 1962 for the 21st century. The book sheds light on the differences in educational experiences between working-class and non-working-class students, highlighting the need for a more equitable system. By examining class identity, social mobility, and the impact of economic relationships on education, Reay aims to understand why working-class individuals continue to face significant disparities in their educational outcomes.
