This book explores the experiences of young people as they move
through the Irish secondary educational system. Drawing on a rich
study which combines survey data with in-depth interviews with
students, it addresses the key facets of schooling which influence
young people's experiences. With chapters organised thematically,
including ability grouping, school climate and the impact of high
stakes examinations, the central dimensions of school structure and
process is explored. Placing young people's voices centre stage, it
explores how they respond to the school context and make decisions
that will profoundly affect their future. This book contrasts
different types of school settings and examines how gender and
social class play out at the school level.
