- Education - Material Deprivation
- Material deprivation or poverty can cause working-class under-achievement.
- Poor housing
- Overcrowding or cold and damp rooms mean pupils have nowhere quiet to do homework.
- Being homeless or living in temporary accommodati- on may mean frequent moves and changes of school.
- Poor diet
- Can lead to illness, absences from school and lack of concentration in class due to hunger
- Financial cost of education
- poorer families can afford fewer educational opportunities, e.g trips, computers, private tuition.
- Children may be stigmatised or bullied for lacking the right uniform or latest fashion trends.

- Cultural capital theory
- Combines aspects of both cultural and material explanations
- Marxists such as Bourdieu (1984) argue that middle-class pupils are more successful that working-class pupils because their parents possess more capital or assets.
- Economic Capital - The Wealth that middle-class families own.
- Cultural Capital - The attitudes, values, skills, knowledge etc of the middle-class
- Educational capital - The middle class use their greater economic + cultural capital to give their children and educational advantage by using it to obtain educational capital- Qualifacations.
- This allows their children to get middle-class jobs + more economic capital, thus reproducing the advantages of the middle-class from generation to generation
