Enrichment

Education and Class

Here is an interesting interview with the Cambridge professor of education, Diane Reay who, having taught in schools for 20 years has now moved into academia.

The article highlights some of the inequalities in the British education system in terms of class and the impact of this on a young person's educational outcomes.

This article could be used for the Education unit, as well as Culture and Identity.
