在英国，在学校获得的教育资格继续在年轻人的教育和就业道路上发挥着重要和核心的作用。最近，人们对记录“普通”年轻人的生活越来越感兴趣。在本文中，我们分析了英格兰和威尔士的青年队列研究，以便更好地记录那些获得“中等”学校普通中等教育证书（GCSE）水平的人的经历。学校GCSE成绩的总体模式是表现水平不断提高的模式之一。 GCSE 成绩仍然存在高度分层。女孩的表现优于男孩，主要少数民族学生的成绩也存在显着差异。最值得注意的是，父母的社会经济地位是最重要的因素。这些分析未能让我们相信，GCSE 学校成绩的“中等”类别存在明确的界限。我们的结论是，社会学家应该研究“普通”年轻人；然而，最好将学校 GCSE 成绩理解为一个连续体，最好采用 GCSE 数量或分数等衡量标准。
In Britain, educational qualifications gained at school continue to play an important and central role in young people’s educational and employment pathways. Recently there has been growing interest in documenting the lives of ‘ordinary’ young people. In this paper we analyse the Youth Cohort Study of England and Wales in order to better document the experiences of those with ‘middle’ levels of school General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) attainment. The overall pattern of school GCSE attainment is one of increasing levels of performance. GCSE attainment is still highly stratified. Girls performed better than boys, and there were some marked differences in attainment for pupils from the main minority ethnic groups. Most notably, parental socio-economic positions are the most important factor. The analyses fail to persuade us that there are clear boundaries that demark a ‘middle’ category of school GCSE attainment. We conclude that sociologists should study ‘ordinary’ young people; however, school GCSE attainment is best understood as a continuum, and measures such as the number of GCSEs or point scores are preferable.
