Open the Gates an' That's It 'See Ya Later!': School Culture and Young People's Transitions into Post-Compulsory Education and Training.

Mannion, Greg

Scottish Educational Review, v34 n1 p86-100 May 2002

A study examined the role of school culture in student transitions to postcompulsory education in Scotland. Findings from 36 focus groups with 152 secondary students, college students, and job trainees indicate that schooling offered limited opportunities for identification with the world of work and for pathways other than staying on, and precluded rather than opened up choice.
