Sociologists seek to find the reasons in which class differences within education occur, the ideas that were shared are put into categories, one of them being external factors. The external factors happen outside of the education system and focus on the influences in the home and the family background as well as the wider society. There are three main focuses when it comes to the external factors that affect pupil's educational achievement such as cultural deprivation, material deprivation and cultural capital.
