My teacher said there’s going to be something on ethnicity and education. My teacher also thought educational policies might be the 30 marker. But just revise everything just in case 😊

I know the majority of the class differences in educational achievement and ethnicity, I'm hoping I can guess some of the answers but I'm really stuck on all of the research methods

My teacher said METHODS IN CONTEXT -
Diaries, Ofsted reports, Covert observations, Questionnaires, THEORIES Social Action Theory and Feminism. What did your teacher say
My teacher was not very helpful and said it could be on anything, which is why i was curious about what you teacher had to say. BTW thank you this is really helpful

Questionnaires would be a good topic and so would covert observations, what do you mean by diaries is it as in like diaries as a type of secondary data source?

If a 30 marker came up on educational policies I would talk about the following things:
Tripartite system
Comprehensive schooling’s
Labour policies such as EMA
Conservative policies
Coalition government policies such as free schools, academies
Then just link this to theories, examples and other knowledge.
Finally the two criticisms of educational policies
