This highly topical monograph focuses on how children in their
first year of high school feel about school, its place in their
lives and its role in their futures. The theoretical context of the
study is the focus in educational studies on children's voice and
children's active role in education, together with the focus in the
sociology of childhood on children as active constructors of their
lives and childhood as a subject of serious study. The importance
of young people's life plans and the alignment between education
and ambitions was recognised in the Sloan Foundation study of
American teenagers. In many Western societies there is concern that
children from less advantaged social backgrounds have limited
aspirations, and are disproportionately unlikely to go to
university. This book is highly relevant to understanding the
nature of children's engagement with education, the choices and
constraints they experience and the reasons some young people fail
to take advantage of educational opportunities.
