Education helps in establishing equality and ensuring social
justice but the system of education itself can add to the existing inequalities
or at least perpetuate the same. Inequalities of educational opportunities
arise due to :
Þ Poverty as the poor cannot afford to meet the expenses of
education.
Þ Children studying in the rural schools have to compete with the
children in urban areas where there are well-equipped schools.
Þ In the places where no primary, secondary or collegiate
educational institutions exist children do not get the same opportunity as those
who have all these in their neighborhood.
Þ Wide inequalities also arise from differences in home
environments. A child from a rural household or slum does not have the same
opportunity as a child from an upper class home with educated parents.
Þ There is wide sex disparity in India. Here girl‘s education is
not given the same encouragement as boys.
Þ Education of backward classes including SC and ST and
economically backward sections is not at par with that of other communities or
classes.
