Improving Educational Equity in Urban Contexts

By Carlo Raffo

This book examines some of the causes and responses to these educational inequalities, and focuses upon poor urban contexts in England, and elsewhere, where educational disadvantage is at its most concentrated and where educational policy and practice has, over time, proliferated. The text questions how wider inequities experienced by young people in urban contexts generate educational inequalities and disadvantage, detailing explicitly what an equitable approach to education might look like.
