I have taught sociology for over ten years and I am always learning... I never knew the background to this study: https://t.co/cRe5kt3KNx . I love a bit of committed research to act on behalf of disadvantaged groups :-)
I was called to give evidence today in front of the House of Commons Science & Technology Committee.
Questions were asked about whether social media is being used to encourage children's involvement in drug markets, & what, if anything, can be done about it.
Here's my response:
'Class divide' in university entry exams - Half of white working-class students going to university in England have applied with vocational qualifications as well as A-levels. "The result is institutional snobbery against vocational qualifications" https://t.co/3MWlbe8BUU #SOCED
