PAUL WILLIS AND PIERRE BOURDIEU`S EDUCATIONAL THEORIES: EDUCATION IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE

Education has become an even more important nuance, especially in the modern world. Unlike in previous periods, the expansion of education to all social strata in the modern world has increased its significance among social theorists. In the modern era, the compulsory and accessible nature of education was evaluated as everyone having the same opportunities in society in this regard. Thus, the accessibility of education was expected to contribute to both societal well-being and personal development. In the modern era, such goals were at the forefront of education. The establishment of their own educational systems and the export of educational services by various countries have caused states to attach special importance to educational policies. In addition, some countries (e.g. England and France) are distinguished by having special educational systems and educational policies. In this article, the concept of education of these two countries will be discussed based on the research of sociologists from them. These sociologists are Paul Willis from England and Pierre Bourdieu from France. This article will provide an overview of the education systems of England and France based on the research of these sociologists on education. The views and criticisms of the education systems in the rules here identify all students. Respective countries of Willis, who explains how the working class learns to be workers through the education system, and Bourdieu, who examines how education reinforces class barriers, will be analyzed from a sociological perspective.
