Can School Improvement Overcome the Effects of Disadvantage?

Although there has been more recognition of the relationship between pupils' backgrounds and their school achievement since this book's original publication in 1997, the problem persists. The authors have revised and updated their discussion of what disadvantage can mean for pupils, the strategies that have been adopted to combat it and the efficacy of these programs.Mortimore, Peter is the author of 'Can School Improvement Overcome the Effects of Disadvantage?', published 2000 under ISBN 9780854736256 and ISBN 0854736255.
