Research reports 2006 - Attitudes of the socially disadvantaged towards education in Northern Ireland

This review considers recent studies into children and young people from the preschool/nursery years through compulsory education and beyond, and seeks to establish firstly, if there is a link between social disadvantage and attitudes towards education. Where social disadvantage is a factor, this report sets out to present the views of the children and young people and their parents, as well as detailing efforts within schools and communities to ameliorate the situation.
