SECOND EDITION COMING APRIL 2025
In this book Diane Reay, herself working class turned Cambridge professor, presents a 21st century view of education and the working classes
Drawing on over 500 interviews, the book includes vivid stories from working class children and young people. It looks at class identity and the effects of wider economic and social class relationships on working class educational experiences.
The book reveals how we have ended up with an educational system that still educates the different social classes in fundamentally different ways and, vitally, what we can do to achieve a fairer system.
