This document discusses citizenship and inequality, specifically in education. It examines Marshall's strands of civil, political, and social rights as they relate to citizenship. It notes that citizenship can be both inclusive and exclusive. There are unequal opportunities in education, and a problem with solely relying on a human rights approach to address this. Education may contradict the theme of citizenship.
