To the important parts of education include students' educational mobility and success

Social inequality is a direct cause of differences in educational opportunities, which further restricts the choices open to those who are already at a disadvantage. This study examines the many ways that social status inequality restricts educational chances. It draws attention to the fact that some people with low incomes cannot afford to go to college because of the high cost of living. Because of this, the "educational threshold" has also increased, requiring greater levels of education to achieve the same jobs that formerly needed lower levels of educational achievement. A diversified population with a broad variety of educational levels is revealed when comparing this country to others, even though the absolute rate of educational mobility has been rather high.
