From an international comparative perspective, this third book in
the prestigious eduLIFE Lifelong Learning series provides a
thorough investigation into how social inequalities arise during
individuals' secondary schooling careers. Paying particular
attention to the role of social origin and prior performance, it
focuses on tracking and differentiation in secondary schooling,
examining the short- and long-term effects on inequality of
opportunities. It looks at ways in which differentiation in
secondary education might produce and reproduce social inequalities
in educational opportunities and educational attainment. Models of
Secondary Education and Social Inequality brings together a number
of cross-national and country studies conducted by well-known
experts in the field. In contrast to existing empirical research,
this book reconstructs individuals educational careers
step-by-step, providing a longitudinal perspective essential for an
appropriate understanding of the dynamics of inequalities in
secondary education. The international viewpoint allows for an
illuminating comparison in light of the different models, rules and
procedures that regulate admission selection and learning in
different countries. This book will be of great interest to
policymakers, researchers and professional experts in the field,
including sociologists, pedagogues, international political
scientists and economists, and also serves as a major text for
postgraduate and postdoctoral courses. Contributors include: A.
