Educational Achievement in Britain According to Ethnicity, Gender and Social Class
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page paper discussing gaps in educational achievement in Britain from a sociological perspective. Researchers appear to be identifying concepts that should be important in arriving at resolution, even though it appears that they have not yet found workable solutions that fit all situations. It has been known for years that more highly educated parents typically are more involved in their children’s education and encourage them to achieve. The stereotype of Asian commitment to education appears to be supported by achievement rates in Asian populations. Researching these groups to learn their “secrets” that could be applied to other groups appears to be a reasonable approach to bridging social, gender and ethnicity gaps in educational achievement.
