Education, social stratification and social mobility

Sun Shufen

Education is an important force contributing to social stratification and social mobility, and higher education directly influences social stratification and social mobility. Equity of resources of higher education directly affects the change in the social level of educated people after receiving higher education. Thus, it is important to pay attention to the impact of higher education on social stratification and social mobility, and to examine the promotion and advancement of higher education on social stratification and social mobility. Social stratification is the social root of education. The phenomenon of "exam-oriented education" is common and not unique to our country at this stage. The fundamental issue of education is social resources, and then the issue of competition for educational resources. Given a realistic premise of a vision of the objective existence of social stratification, more fundamental questions are how to ensure equality in education and achieve social justice and equity through education.
