Outline two material factors that may affect social class differences in educational achievement (4)
P: Material deprivation
E: M/c are more likely to buy brain stimulation books/ textbooks/ resources for the children and that will benefit them in achieving better grades in school than w/c.
P: Nutrition
E: this affects social class differences as m/c are more likely to have more notional meals whereas w/c won’t which will affect their concertation therefore m/c will have higher chances in achieving better grades.
P: Period poverty
E: Girls are more likely not to go into school as they don’t have sanitary products ( study in Wales) w/c girls are less likely to go into school because they don’t have products.

P: Formula Funding ( gov. gives money for each child)
P: Open enrolment ( parents can choose whatever school they want, the school tries to sell itself to parents)
P:League tables/ Ofsted reports ( they are an objective of ranking schools and judging them)
P: Cream skimming ( successful schools can attempt to attract higher achievers who are more likely to be m/c
