Study links parents' jobs to teens' PISA scores

Original: Study links parents' jobs with teens' PISA scores over education

A new study finds that teenagers' PISA scores are more strongly linked to their parents' occupations than to other educational factors, suggesting family background continues to shape academic performance. The findings renew debate over inequality in education systems and whether schools can truly close the achievement gap between children from different social classes.
