The films An Education and Fish Tank representation of Britishness is very different.
An education is based in the 60's, It represents traditional British family morales, such as women working at home, and men being the main source of income within a house hold, how ever Jennys education is still very important mainly as a way to represent their class if Jenny is to go to university.
For example Jenny confronts her parents about being with David as before she is with him they are dedicated to getting Jenny to Oxford, how ever when she starts dating David her farther relaxs, and would accept her becoming a house wife with David because he is a middle class man.
The family in Fish Tank contrasts this as it is a challenge to keep Amelia in school, and her single parent mother couldn't care less if her daughters at school or not, it suggests how family morals have change over the last 50 years as she is a single parent, in the 60's this would have been frowned upon deeply and she would be classed as lower class.
