Three types of Capital:
- Cultural capital: MC parents are able to transmit their values and experiences of education onto their own child so that they may exceed in education achievement.
- Educational and economic capital: MC parents with cultural capital are able to meet the needs of the school curriculum and gain qualifications. They are also able to send their children to private school.

Q
SULLIVAN (2001)
A
Used Questionnaires to conduct a survey of 465 pupils in four school.
- Asked about hobbies and tested vocabulary understanding.
- Found that students who read complex fiction had greater cultural capital. And that they were children of graduates, and so therefore were going to be more successful at GCSEs.
