Role of Education - Functionalism - DURKHEIM
It is important that individuals feel that they are a part of something. (Solidarity) Education passes on societies core values through lessons such as PSHE , Citizenship and the Hidden Curriculum. This is so that we can work on value consensus.

There are two types of language that is used, elaborated and restricted code. The MC familiarity of the elaborated code gives them a better chance of success in education.
7 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Class - REAY
Exaggeration of the differences and downplay of the similarities (MC/WC) between attitudes and beliefs. WC have material constraints preventing parents attending meetings. WC have a lack of self-confidence so are less assertive.

Differential Attainment - External Class - CASSEN & KINGDON
We are ignoring the role of the school. Some teachers may label WC children as ' born to fail' and therefore neglecting their needs leading to the self-fulfilling prophecy.
9 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Class - KEDDIE
There is a need for schools to change. Education is mainly based around white MC culture hence creating a disadvantage for others of different backgrounds.

Young people from poorer homes have lower intakes of energy, vitamins and minerals . This results in more absences (illness) and difficulties in concentrating

'The costs of free schooling' the lack of financial support means that children from poorer backgrounds have to do without equipment.
14 of 30

Both cultural and material factors contribute to educational achievement and are not separate but interrelated. There are 3 types of capital - educational, cultural and economic
16 of 30

Gender domains are formed by early socialisation.
17 of 30

Girls and boys are dressed differently and encouraged to play with different toys directing them to different activities (boys are more active = PE).
18 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Gender - REAY
For some WC girls, who have limited job opportunities, being a part of a couple brings status.
19 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Gender - BIGGART
Some WC girls who face uncertainty in the job market see motherhood as the only viable option for the future, so there is no point in working hard at school.
20 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Gender - FRANCIS
The development of the feminine identity pushes girls to work harder, increased employment.
21 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Gender - MITSOS &BROWNE
The decline in male employment opportunities has led to an 'identity crisis for men'. Many boys believe there is little prospect of getting a proper job. Undermining their motivation and self-esteem so they give up on qualifications.
22 of 30
Differential Attainment - External Gender - JESSICA RINGROSE (Feminist)
Moral panic reflects a fear that underachieving boys will grow up to be part of the dangerous, unemployable underclass that threatens social stability.
23 of 30
Educational Policy - Parentocracy - BROWN
The 'parent power' giving the rights and choice of school to the parents. However, this is heavily dependant and the wealth and wishes of the parents.
24 of 30
Educational Policy - ERA - Marketisation - MIRIAM DAVID
Parentocracy, encourages the diversity among schools and gives parents more choice and leads to an increase in standards.
25 of 30
Educational Policy - ERA - Marketisation - BALL & WHITTY
Marketisation policies such as exam league tables reproduce class inequalities by creating inequalities between schools.
26 of 30
Educational Policy - ERA - Marketisation - WILL BARTLETT
Cream-skimming - good schools are more selective and are able to choose their 'customers' (mainly MC). Silt-shifting - good schools can avoid taking less able pupils who are likely to get poor results and damage the league position.
27 of 30
Educational Policy - ERA - Marketisation -GERWITZ
Parental choice, 3 types of choosers - privileged skilled, disconnected- local and semi-skilled. In practice MC parents possess the cultural and economic capital and hence have more choice.
28 of 30
Educational Policy - New Labour - MELISSA BENN
New labour paradox, there is a contradiction in the policies between tackling inequality and commitment to marketisation. EG/ EMA's to encourage poor entering HE, they introduced tuition fees
29 of 30
Educational Policy - EMA - WHITTY
The EMA's did tackle inequality amongst the WC however, it was merely cosmetic due to the high costs of university fees acting as a deterrent.
