AS Level and A2
Level Sociology : The Sociology of Education
I hope that all students of the Sociology
of Education at AS and A2 Levels will find these resources useful but they
should check with their teachers as to the precise contents of their chosen
Examination Board Specification and remember also the variations in the
weightings of assessment objectives within AS and A2 examinations and
between AS and A2 examinations.
