Material Deprivation Is The Most Important Barrier To Educational Attainment

Physical shortage is the most important obstacle for education, physical shortage is money shortage, bringing disadvantages such as unhealthy meals, lack of computers and textbooks. J. W. B Douglas studied the education of 5,362 British children and children grouped according to their abilities as measured in the IQ test. Then he divided them into four social layers and found great differences among students from similar social backgrounds but with similar abilities.

Some sociologists such as Douglas and Bernstein believe that family history and cultural deprivation are the reasons for the difference in academic background. These sociologists would argue that family background and cultural deprivation of the working class brought about their lack of education. But other sociologists like Nell Keddie think that educational differences can be explained by school factors, not by family situations. It is said that the accomplished working class is a school based on its family history and cultural poverty.

In the latter part of the 20th century, the importance of education as a source of income increased. Low level education and broken family structure are related. The difference in education level helps to widen income distribution. Education as a cause of growth in capitalist countries also helps to expand income distribution. There is no better choice than capitalism as a social system that provides growth and individual freedom. Alternatives provide less freedom and lower growth. The "better choice" imagined by people is, in most cases, someone's view on utopia. The library is full of books on utopia. Those who tried are not surviving or prospering. The most common reason for failure is that the ideal ideals of people and groups are inadequate for others who follow their rules. Rules changed or enforced by authorities

Unlike cultural deprivation theorists, they believe that working-class families are responsible for educational failure and material deprivation theorists are the cause of educational failure due to lack of poverty and material demand I believe. The absence of substances means lack of material needs such as adequate housing and income. Statistics show that poverty is closely related to people with poor academic achievement, and in 2006 only 32% of children who received free school meals received GCSE A * -C pass It was. It is 61%. As a result, children eligible for free school lunch are less than one-third of wealthy classmates before 16 years old.
