Combines re-analysis of secondary literature (including official statistics, institutional histories, interview data) and analysis of qualitative and quantitative primary research using descriptive and inferential statistics, value-added analysis and grounded theory. The results show the siginificance and weakness of both the mid-twentieth century classic analyses of social clas and the late-twentieth century feminist approaches. Shows how a joint consideration of social issues, in particular of gender and social stratification, produce a powerful model for explaining attainment with important implications for policy on (a) boys' underachievement and (b) participation in higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45083446902935,"sku":"9780826488565","price":17749.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780826488565.webp?v=1767263860","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/educational-attainment-and-society-9780826488565","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
