education sociology

Education sociology is the study of how social factors—such as culture, social class, ethnicity, and gender—affect educational experiences and outcomes. It examines how schools reflect and influence broader society, including issues like inequality, access to resources, and societal norms. By analyzing these dynamics, education sociology helps us understand why students succeed or struggle and how education can promote social mobility or reproduce social disparities. Overall, it provides insight into the relationship between education systems and societal structures, aiming to improve educational practices and promote fairness.
