'Teacher education in FE continues to be an important and
unresolved issue, and this book is a great asset in supporting
individuals in understanding and developing their practices. With a
focus on developing critical, inquiring practitioners, the text
reads like an experienced mentor sharing pointers, questions, and
useful readings over a collegial cup of coffee'. Dr Tim Herrick,

Education, Inequality and Social Class provides a comprehensive
discussion of the empirical evidence for persistent inequality in
educational attainment. It explores the most important theoretical
perspectives that have been developed to understand class-based
inequality and frame further research. With clear explanations of
essential concepts, this book draws on empirical data from the UK
and other countries to illustrate the nature and scale of
inequalities according to social background, discussing the
interactions of class-based inequalities with those according to
race and gender. The book relates aspects of inequality to the
features of educational systems, showing how policy choices impact
on the life chances of children from different class backgrounds.
The relationship between education and social mobility is also
explored, using the concepts of social closure, positionality and
social congestion. The book also provides detailed discussions of
the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein, two important
theorists whose contributions have generated thriving research
traditions much used in contemporary educational research.
Education, Inequality and Social Class will be essential reading
for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students engaged in the
study of education, childhood studies and sociology. It will also
be of great interest to academics, researchers and teachers in
training.
