Education and social mobility: the way to the possible

Good evening, dear reader friends. Education is a topic that I have always liked, that is why being an educator, I have dedicated my blog to topics related to it.

(This text has been translated by software. I apologize if for this reason some errors are incurred.)

The social mobility.

Initially our socioeconomic status depends on our parents. For Sánchez (2000) our socioeconomic condition is inherited for generations. In the vast majority of today's modern societies, the main factor is determined by the wealth that people accumulate over time and their income.

But the most important factor that determine the economic income of a person is their educational level. For this reason, emphasis is placed on school achievement and the need to provide access to the least favored to a quality education, since this is the most important mechanism through which the children of poor parents (probably poorly educated) ) can access better levels of life.

The education.

Education is one of the fundamental pillars with which the human being counts to mediate and build their development in the complexity of the modern world.

In Latin America, for example, the important difficulties in reference to social mobility are related to the limited levels of professional preparation that hinder entry into the productive labor market and thus the possibility of social advancement.

Among other factors, these handicaps have a relationship with several edges that are conjunctural such as inadequate nutrition, lack of basic health care and a deficient educational system from the primary bases such as the preschool and primary levels.

The importance of education as a central axis for the attainment of the objectives of public education policy is widely accepted.

Although it is not easy to assess a person socially about their educational achievements, currently for many scholars and researchers in the area such as González (1998), it is one of the most quantifiable and direct ways to analyze what is the true effect on work and Productivity education.

In this way, the individual income (socio-economic stratum) can monitor the approximate return it has on the gross domestic product (GDP).

What has been proven?

It has been shown that the educational level has a decisive influence on the increase of material wealth and also on the cultural wealth of a country, as the possibilities of access grow exponentially with the professional development of the people.

In this sense, it is really urgent that educational policies be directed towards the implementation of resources that increase the possibilities of optimizing social mobility in the most disadvantaged social strata.

It is one of the reasons why it is argued that educational quality and school achievement is the primary mechanism by which the less favored people can have the opportunities to ascend their social level. In addition, in this way they can develop their capabilities and potential to enter the labor market with advantages.
