Pojkar som inte lyckas i grundskolan

Sammanfattning

The purpose of this essay was to examine pupils who leave the Swedish nine-year compulsory school system without reaching the requirements for the Swedish senior high school, and then to compare with those who reach the requirements. I used the following questions to help me reach this purpose:

- Where in life are those pupils who reached the requirements for the Swedish senior high school?

- Where in life are those pupils who did not reach the requirements for the Swedish senior high school?

- What differences are noticeable between these two groups?

The method that I used to examine these questions was to send out a questionnaire to the pupils. I also tried to make an explanation to the results with the help of Erwin Goffmanns theories.

The result of this essay shows that there is not a big difference between the two groups. They both did equally well after they finished the Swedish nine-year compulsory school.
