Stare i nowe nierówności edukacyjne wśród młodzieży wiejskiej
Old and new educational inequalities among rural youth

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research into the educational inequalities among young inhabitants of rural areas. For the purpose of collecting empirical material a survey covering a sample of 830 grammar-school students was conducted with the help of a questionnaire. The results of the conducted analysis show that social status continues to have an influence on educational attainments of school children. Social, cultural and financial capital as well as participation in private lessons and additional courses have an influence on the results of instruction. The conducted research has also revealed new factors of educational inequalities. Only 9% of rural grammar-school students want to continue their education in the best secondary schools. These are individuals characterised by high social, cultural and economic capital as well as impressive attainments at school, who participate in additional courses and private lessons.
