Title: The sociology of education in Canada
Subtitle: critical perspectives
First published: 1998
Description: "In The Sociology of Education in Canada Professor Terry Wotherspoon traces the historical development and organization of Canadian education, and describes sociological theories and analysis of education. Using a critical perspective, the author examines schooling and its impact on children and youth in Canada; the roles of teachers and teaching, and how these have and have not changed over the years; the relationship between education and employment; how education succeeds - and fails - in its task of social reproduction; and contemporary challenges and proposed reforms in provinces across Canada, where a secular multicultural society has created new demands on an institution formed in an earlier, more homogeneous Canada."--Jacket.
