Sinopsis

La educación representa, en teoría, uno de los principales instrumentos de movilidad social y de construcción de sociedades más equitativas. Sin embargo, en la práctica, persisten las desigualdades estructurales dentro y fuera de los sistemas educativos, reflejando y reproduciendo brechas sociales, económicas, culturales y territoriales. Este capítulo analiza las múltiples dimensiones de la desigualdad educativa, con especial atención a las brechas de ingresos, género y etnia; la movilidad intergeneracional y social vinculada al acceso a la educación; las políticas e instrumentos destinados a promover la equidad educativa; y las acciones afirmativas que buscan compensar las condiciones históricas de desventaja.
