People think parents should put their own children first when it comes to schooling decisions – but not without consideration for others

Abstract

We hear it all the time in the media and in public debates about education – that parents have a right to do what is best for their own children when it comes to choosing schools. But research shows the British public might really think differently. Sonia Exley finds a surprisingly egalitarian attitude toward educational opportunities amongst British parents and non-parents alike
