Academic Success and Social Power: Examinations and Inequality
Author: Richard Teese
Paperback, vexcellent condition
Academic Success and Social Power: Examinations and Inequality by Richard Teese critically examines how educational assessments and examination systems contribute to social inequality. Teese explores how standardized testing and other academic measures often reinforce existing class divides, benefiting students from more privileged backgrounds while limiting opportunities for those from lower socioeconomic groups. Through detailed analysis, he reveals how schools, curricula, and assessment practices are intertwined with broader social and economic forces, perpetuating inequality rather than providing equal opportunity. The book sheds light on the hidden dynamics within education systems and calls for reforms to create a more equitable landscape for academic success.
