Education, Social Class and Social Exclusion.
Whitty, Geoff
Journal of Education Policy, v16 n4 p287-95 Jul-Aug 2001
Concerned about working-class failure, argues that recent (British) government policies have insufficiently considered sociological studies on how social class affects educational success or failure. Social-inclusion policies must address forms of middle-class self-exclusion from mainstream public education as well as working-class social exclusion. (Contains 46 references.) (MLH)
