Detailed explanation-1: -Statistically, pupils with a better social class background are more likely to have greater educational achievement. There are many aspects of someone’s class which contribute to their educational achievements, such as class values, hobbies and culture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Educational achievement gaps are usually associated with class (socioeconomic status), race and ethnicity, and gender. Sociologists research how educational systems and processes influence pupils’ levels of attainment. Levels of attainment refer to ratings of the ability of school pupils.
Detailed explanation-3: -A focus on objective social class entails a direct determination of a person’s social class based on socioeconomic variables–mainly income, wealth, education and occupation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most sociologists define social class as a grouping based on similar social factors like wealth, income, education, and occupation. These factors affect how much power and prestige a person has.
Detailed explanation-5: -These internal factors and processes include labelling, the self-fulfilling prophecy, pupil sub-cultures and how pupils’ class identities interact with the school and its values. This is where teachers may attach a meaning or definition to a pupil, and label them as bright or thick, troublemaker or hardworking.
