The following thesis applied the theoretical concepts of social exclusion and capabilities approach as well as a child-centred perspective to understand the impact of poverty on children’s experiences of schooling. The central questions of the research were what is the relationship between poverty and access to and quality of education in the context of
Azerbaijan. Secondly, what is the impact of poverty on the secondary school experiences of children aged ten to sixteen in selected schools of Baku city and are there differences in the school experiences of children from poorer schools and schools in better-off circumstances.
