Recenzii
Overall, the book is comprehensive and detailed, providing needed insights into the human aspects of policy implementation, illuminating what interventions mean for students and their families and how deeply inter-related these processes are. This book will certainly be of value for education scholars, sociologists, and others interested in higher education policy.—Teachers College Record
Descriere
This book argues that the policies designed to address inequalities in college access are failing to address underlying issues of inequality. Breaking Through the Access Barrier introduces a groundbreaking new theory—academic capital formation (ACF)—to promote improvement in academic preparation, college information, and student aid.
