Welcome to today’s daily sociology MCQ. This quiz focuses on educational policies in education, one of those topic areas that can feel full of key terms, reforms and arguments unless you keep revisiting it in small chunks. The aim here is simple: help you check your knowledge, spot what you know securely, and identify the bits that still need a little more work. Across this daily quiz series, I’ll be covering different areas of both the AQA A-level Sociology and Cambridge OCR A-level Sociology specifications, so you can keep building your understanding one topic at a time.

Today’s questions focus mainly on the policy side of education, including ideas such as marketisation, parentocracy, league tables, academies, privatisation and equality of opportunity.
