- Material Deprivation
- Effects of poverty on schooling.
- David Bull (1980)- so-called free education comes with hidden costs. Children from poor families miss out, lack of money for educational support: computers, books, trip
- Families in poverty more likely to be in deprived areas where 90% of schools are failing. They cannot afford houses in areas with good schools due to low wages.
- Poor housing means overcrowding no quiet place for study and more illness.
- An inadequate diet. No breakfast, difficulty concentrating.
- Emily Tanner (2016) children from poorer backgrounds less likely to attend after school clubs.
- Parents cannot afford to put through FE and HE.
- Statistics and Sociologists.
- Sutton Trust 2013- Children W/C background 3x less likely to attend a top uni better off than their classmates.
- Only 11% of Oxbridge students are from W/C
- Poorer students more likely to attend local uni and live with parents.
- Forsyth and Furlong (2000)- students from poorer backgrounds wary for the elite uni's, feel they will not fit in.
- Callender and Jackson (2005)- many bright W/C students to not apply to uni for fear of debt.
- Nearly 4/5 M/C uni students receive financial support from parents. Compared to 2/5 poorer.
- W/C students more likely to combine degree and part time job.
- Quinn et al (2005)- white W/C men more likely to drop out of uni.
- Alisdair Forsyth and Andy Furlong (2000)
- Quantitative and quantitative methods to research bright W/C students less likely to go to uni.
- around 500 secondary students completed it and a follow up postal questionnaire 9 months later.
- Next- 44 unstructured interviews with poorer background students.
- Finally a postal questionnaire to the parents of those who took part in the follow up
- Concluded that W/C students experienced a number of barriers to higher education success
- Lack of familiarity with HE (enrolled in inappropriate courses)
- A lack of funds
- A fear of debt
