Education : Bordieu

• Bordieu

  Bordieu sees the main role of the education system as legitimising social inequalities and justifying inequality.
• Bordieu

  Bordieu claims that each social class has a habitus: a cultural set of 'rules' as to how to behave and what is seen as good taste and bad taste.
• Bordieu

  The primary socialisation in the family provides the appropriate habitus of the social class of the family.
• Bordieu

  Once a child goes to school, educational knowledge is built on the habitus of the ruling classes, not the working class.
• Bordieu

  The higher class children have more cultural capital ( read the appropriate books, heard the same music, know how to play the games) which gives them an advantage over the working class children.
• Bordieu

   Failure for the lower classes is inevitable.
