Miseducation

Inequality, Education and the Working Classes (21st Century Standpoints)

Diane Reay

Miseducation by Diane Reay is a thought-provoking examination of the education system and its impact on social class in the 21st century. Through over 500 interviews, Reay delves into the experiences of working class children and young people, exploring class identity, social mobility, and the unequal treatment of different social classes in education. This book offers a compelling analysis of why working classes continue to fare worse than their upper and middle class counterparts and proposes actionable solutions for a fairer system.

Diane Reay grew up in a mining community and compares her 1960s experience of social mobility with the shrinking opportunities for working class children today. This is the #11/20 books that influenced my own memoir. @AlmaHarris1 @wilfarmstrong @LordJimKnight @Ed_Dorrell      source
