Abstract
In order to answer the question, "how does education determine people's life chances?"... I am going to look at education in the sense of learning opportunities provided by the state and concentrate on issues of social class, race and gender. life chances is a very vague phrase which could be construed as having a variety of different meanings, but in this case I would interpret it to mean opportunities of economic and social advancement and security. I am going to investigate whether in a historical and contemporary context, the education system through its very structure and policies can restrict life chances for pupils from certain social groups. The discussion of education and equality, equality of opportunity, democracy or social justice has been one of the most debated educational issues of the last hundred years.
