This book posits that national education systems are enhancing
socioeconomic inequalities in political engagement. While the
democratic ideal is social equality in political engagement, the
authors demonstrate that the English education system is recreating
and enhancing entrenched democratic inequalities. In Europe, the UK
has the strongest correlation between social background and voting
behaviours. Examining the role of the school and the education
system in the potential reproduction of these inequalities, the
authors draw upon the theories of Bourdieu and Bernstein and
compare the English school system to other European countries to
analyse barriers that are put along the way to political
engagement. In times of political disaffection, frustration and
polarisation, it is particularly important to uncover why young
people from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to engage
politically, and to help inspire future generations to use their
voice. This timely book will be of interest and value to students
and scholars of educational inequality and political engagement.
