A well-written sociology research book on education with in-depth insight on the current failing education system in the UK.

It is truly a tragedy how the education system currently works and sets up pupils for a life of failure. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about the dark side of the education system as Diane Reay covers it really well with first-hand opinions of real students, metadata analyses and longitudinal studies all written in an organised, formal yet interesting way.
