Education and Training Summary

Education and Training by Tony Lawson

Education and Training is designed to help students build their examination skills while bringing them up-to-date with recent developments in the sociology of education. Separate chapters are devoted to areas that now require equal treatment - class, gender and ethnic inequalities in educational achievement - and are weighted towards recent debates and thinking. Accessible text is therefore combined with interesting exercises and practical examination advice.

Education and Training Reviews

'...impressive and reflects the authors' understanding of the exam boards' requirements. They cover the key subsections with great style - legislative change and social policy, differential achievement and the role of education in society - but the real bonus is that many of the studies they refer to have been published in the 1990s. Furthermore, they integrate the newer issues in education (improvement in girl's performance, the impact of the new right) into the flow of the text. This book benefits from its relevance to current debates. It is also good to see data presented in a wide range of forms, as well as lots of exam-based exercises.' - Mike Moores, Times Educational Supplement
