cultural capital:

• Three types of capital: economic, educational, cultural capital.
• Whitty (1997)- argue that material inequalities have the greatest effect on achievement and so they argue that tackling child poverty would be the most effective way to boost achievement.
• Bourdie (1984)- argues that both cultural and material factors contribute to educational achievement and are not separate but interrelated. He uses the concept of ‘capital’ to explain why the middle class are more successful.
