Having looked at educational inequality with special reference to linguistics, my aim was to evaluate if compensatory education would succeed.My sources of information were mainly secondary, integrating the findings of multiple empirical studies within a general framework."Secondary information consists of sources of data and other information collected by others and archived in some form.These sources include government reports, industry studies, archived data sets and syndicated information services as well as the traditional books and journals found in libraries.Secondary information offers relatively quick and inexpensive answers to many questions and is almost always the point of departure for primary research."(Steward, D.W. and Kamins, M.A., (1993) -pi).Secondary analysis has some distinctive advantages over primary source analysis.The most significant of these advantages are related to time and cost.Secondary sources provide a useful starting point for additional research by suggesting problem formulations.Consultation of secondary sources provides a means for increasing the efficiency of the research.Secondary data may also provide a useful comparative tool.New data for purposes of examining differences and trends.They may also provide a basis for determining whether or not the new information is representative of a population.However, it does have its disadvantages also.Information collected with a specific purpose in mind, may produce deliberate or unintentional bias.Also data collected may be so extensive that the individual whose job it is to interpret the findings can potentially arrive at many different even, conflicting conclusions
