- Official Statistics in Education
- Practical issues
- much of this data is published and therefore available to the sociologist , saving them time and money
- Educational stats are collected in every school in England and Wales, at regular intervals, so therefore sociologist are able to make comparisons over time.
- Representativeness
- some official stats are highly representative, as stats are collected on every pupil in the country (such as attendance/ethnicity etc) so therefore are highly representative.
- Reliabilty
- Positivists favour officical stats because they are able to be tested time and time again.
- Practical issues
