Integration and Inequality in Educational Institutions

the long version

"This volume addresses questions that lie at the core of research into education. It examines the way in which the institutional embeddedness and the social and ethnic composition of students affect educational performance, skill formation, and behavioral outcomes. It discusses the manner in which educational institutions accomplish social integration. It poses the question of whether they can reduce social inequality, -- or whether they even facilitate the transformation of heterogeneity into social inequality."--Back cover.
