The Impact of Social Inequality on Educational Attainment: A Sociological Perspective

Abstract

Author(s): Jocelyn Jie Wang*

This article examines the relationship between social inequality and educational attainment, drawing from sociological theories and empirical data to explore how social class, race, and gender influence access to education and academic achievement. The research aims to understand how these social factors contribute to disparities in education systems and to highlight potential interventions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes both qualitative interviews and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive view of how societal structures shape educational outcomes. Findings indicate that systemic inequalities persist in educational systems, particularly affecting marginalized communities. This article concludes by recommending policy changes and educational reforms to promote equity in educational opportunities
