{"product_id":"9781441108272","title":"Educational Attainment and Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eSophisticated monograph focussing on attainment at the end of secondary\/high school education (and the interface with tertiary education). 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":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123790364912,"sku":"9781441108272","price":118.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441108272_p0.jpg?v=1763797880","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441108272","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
