Educational Expansion and inequality of Opportunity for higher education in SK Xueying Yan
Agenda • Two different views towards the relationship between education expansion and inequality opportunity for higher education • Own experience: 1. 2009 youth friendship meeting among China, Japan and Korea.
Statistics http://www.people.com.cn/GB/guandian/8213/28144/28154/1904570.html
Controversial topic • Whether it reduces inequality by providing more opportunities for persons from disadvantage strata or for those who are already privileged. • One side: higher education expansion when it occurs through hierarchy differentiation , a process of division, members of working class are diverted from elite opportunities.(Brint and Karabel 1989) • Other side: lower tier post secondary schooling represents enhanced opportunity for lower class people(Dougherty 1994)
My opinion • Increase the inequality education opportunities • First, education process: transition point. Job market or higher education. • Second, private institution is the main form of higher education in contemporary Korea • Third, increase in the rates of educational participation among women tend to restrict the extent of participation among people from lower classes. • Fourth: the education level of families and relatives
Conclusion • In a word, the inequality can be reduced if we take some measures but never be removeddue to the complex social factor.
