To understand that children have very different experiences of education.
To understand that many factors can affect how well children do in school; many of these are social and not intellectual.
To identify some of the social characteristics that predispose children to failure or success.
One of the main understandings of the functionalist view of the education system is that it acts as a ladder of opportunity for people to achieve the best that they can, according to their ability.
The best people will then go on to gain the best jobs and become the leaders of their society.
This belief is known as meritocracy.
The education system in Britain since World War 2 has operated under the principle of providing equal opportunity for all pupils.
Do all children in Britain have an equal chance to do well?

British society does offer equality of opportunity, with some exceptions.
Equality of outcome is when people actually do as well or as badly in the proportion in which they appear in the population.

The main areas of inequality are social class, gender, ethnicity and locality.
Is the British education system meritocratic?
