The presumption has been that the best way to reduce inequalities in educational outcomes is to reduce inequalities in performance. But is this presumption correct? Determined to Succeed? is the first book to offer a comprehensive cross-national examination of the roles of performance and choice in generating inequalities in educational attainment. It combines in-depth studies by country specialists with chapters discussing more general empirical, methodological, and theoretical aspects of educational inequality. The aim is to investigate to what extent inequalities in educational attainment can be attributed to differences in academic performance between socio-economic groups, and to what extent they can be attributed to differences in the choices made by students from these groups. The contributors focus predominantly on inequalities related to parental class and parental education. 410 0$aStudies in Social Inequality 606 $aEducational equalization$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducational attainment$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aAcademic achievement$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aEducational attainment 615 0$aAcademic achievement 676 $a379.2/6 701 $aJackson$b Michelle Victoria$01563106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786182703321 996 $aDetermined to succeed$93831271 997 $aUNINA
