英国对普通教育的社会分层和少数民族群体的教育程度进行了大量研究。前者在阶级教育关联中建立了日益增加的流动性，而没有过多关注种族，而后者则在没有进行细粒度分析的情况下表现出第二代人重新激发的愿望。本文通过研究当代英国社会第 1、1.5、2、2.5、3 和 4 代的家庭阶层、民族代际地位和教育程度之间的关系，对这一文献进行了补充。利用理解社会的数据，我们研究了不同民族世代群体的教育程度。我们的分析显示，前几代人的教育选择性较高，1.5代人的教育过程具有颠覆性，第二代人的成就较高，而后几代人则“向平均水平靠拢”。对于同代群体和大多数人口来说，父母阶层通常以类似的方式运作，但一些工薪族出身的少数民族群体并不容易从父母优势中受益。 “精英、中层、底层”的结构表现为教育程度优势的代际传递。因此，本文揭示了英国研究中迄今尚未发现的阶级与民族关系的新特征。
A large body of research has been conducted both on the social stratification of education at the general level and on the educational attainments of ethnic minority groups in the UK. The former has established the increasing fluidity in the class-education association, without paying much attention to ethnicity, whilst the latter has shown reinvigorated aspirations by the second generation without fine-grained analyses. This paper adds to this literature by examining the relationship between family class, ethno-generational status and educational attainment for various 1st, 1.5, 2nd, 2.5, 3rd and 4th generations in contemporary UK society. Using data from Understanding Society, we study the educational attainment of different ethno-generational groups. Our analysis shows high educational selectivity among the earlier generations, a disruptive process for the 1.5 generation, high second-generation achievement, and a 'convergence toward the mean' for later generations. Parental class generally operates in a similar way for the ethno-generational groups and for the majority population, yet some minority ethnic groups of salariat origins do not benefit from parental advantages as easily. An 'elite, middle and lower' structure manifests itself in the intergenerational transmission of advantage in educational attainment. This paper thus reveals new features of class-ethno relations hitherto unavailable in UK research.
