ideological state apparatus, social reproduction of capitalism, ruling class ideology, cultural capital, hidden curriculum, correspondence principle

This is a useful account of the Marxist view of the role of education in capitalist society. It starts with a brief summary of some of the main Marxist ideas, before turning to education and examining how other writers have used Marxist ideas. The final section looks at how more recent writers have developed the Marxist approach to education.
