Braithwaite, R. J.

Curriculum and Teaching, v2 n1 and n2 p3-15 1987

Presents interview and survey data collected from samples of economically disadvantaged Australian secondary school students and school leavers.

Blaming school structure and lack of teacher encouragement is not supported by results. Includes 31 references. (MLH)
