Pupils' Satisfaction with School and School Life: a Comparative Study of Pupils in Britain and Austria on Attitude, Success, Future Prospects, Social Integration, and Motivation to Learn Languages

This book discusses and compares the satisfaction of pupils in England and in Austria in reference to their own schools and school life in general. Based on teaching experience, questionnaires and interviews, this book offers ideas as to what factors contribute to creating satisfied pupils and questions to what extent the education systems in both countries support the well-being of pupils. This research reflects the careful balance needed between achieving a good academic performance in schools and a high level of satisfaction amongst pupils.
