What part does education play?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe educational achievement of parents is often reflected in that of their children and there are many underlying causes for such a relationship. \u003cem\u003eEducation and the Family\u003c\/em\u003e argues that government policy has an important role to play in addressing this inequality even though many of the causes lie within the home. Although each child should be supported to achieve his or her objectives, differences in the willingness or capabilities of families to take advantage of educational opportunities exacerbate social class differences and limit actual equality of opportunity for many. Understanding the causes of this transmission is key to tackling both social class inequality and to expanding the skill base of the economy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy providing an overview of academic and policy thinking in relation to the role of the family, this book explores the educational success of children. It focuses on the education of the parents but also considers how the family - compared to wider, external influences such as schools - is a driver of differences in educational outcomes. It concludes with a consideration of what policy-makers are attempting to do about this key issue and why, and how this will impact on schools and teachers. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will interest researchers and academics in education and social policy, as well as teachers and other education and social policy practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon Feinstein,Kathryn Duckworth,Ricardo Sabates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415396360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415396363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Leon Feinstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136081834239,"sku":"9780415396363","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a064d29b-1b8a-4530-999a-e8db20e15b26.jpg?v=1770160390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/education-and-the-family-leon-feinstein-9780415396363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
