A MAJOR ONE DAY CONFERENCE ORGANISED BY
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC AND
SOCIAL RESEARCH.
''EDUCATION AND INEQUALITY''
FRIDAY 28 SEPT 2001 AT THE BRITISH ACADEMY.
There is widespread concern about the degree of inequality
in the United Kingdom, which is considerably greater than in
many other European countries. This multi-disciplinary
conference brings together a number of different studies of
the link between education and inequality in order to shed
light on whether inequality can be reduced by well-designed
educational policies. The topics covered range from the
design of teaching methods to prevent a poorly educated
‘tail’ developing, to an analysis of financial pressures on
university students of different backgrounds and of the
extent to which these might perpetuate inequality.
