This paper reviews the article 'Social class and participation in further education: evidence from the Youth Cohort Study (YCS) of England and Wales' by R. Thompson. The paper begins by defining and explaining full and part time education. The paper then examines Thompson’s main claim, that participation of 16-17 year olds in education declines markedly with social class position. YCS data is examined in reference to the topic, and the paper critiques the article in order to assess the validity of the main claims.
