Opis

Drawing on a small sample of young men attending either a selective grammar or a secondary school in the same urban area of Belfast, the author demonstrates that contrary to popular belief, some working-class boys are engaged with education, are motivated to succeed and have high aspirations.

Recenzje

"The book provides insight into the complex relationship between social class and education. ... Working-Class Boys and Educational Success makes a valuable contribution to the literature on class, education, and identity. ... Ingram's work pushes scholars and educational administrators to think more critically about inequality and how to combat such issues in the school environment."
