„Generally speaking – my research centres around the topic of social inequality in education and ways to increase equality. This is a broad topic but I am interested in how students‘ social origin as well as their ethnicity or gender influences what or which type of education they obtain. Furthermore, I am interested in how the transition from school to work – or in other words the process of getting a job – is shaped by socio-economic background factors.“
So says David Reimer, professor of the sociology of education at the University of Iceland, a prolific researcher in his field. David has received two significant grants, to conduct his research which has significant social impact. Education is without any doubt the most important investment a person can make and it also has a direct impact on society in a broad sense. It is imperative to find ways to reach equality in the education system as knowledge is the currency of the future.
