SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND EDUCATION

SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND EDUCATION

This essay will, therefore, focus on explaining the social economic and cultural difference that exists among the social groups showing how they impact the education of children in the locality. Additionally, the essay aims at commenting on how non-performativity of equality and diversity policies ion universities have resulted in inequality due to student subjectification. According to researchers social, economic status includes one’s educational attainment and income, ones financial securities as well as theory opinion on social class and status. Moreover social economic status involves the opportunities, privileges as well as a quality attribute which a person be able to afford while in the society. Importantly it can be said that poverty in the community is associated with physiological and physical aspects and stress. Ones economic, social status can be related to the consistency reliability of predicting huge income throughout their lifetime, this is inclusive of their physiological and physical wellbeing. In the contemporary society economic status is characterized by all behavioral aspects, education, practice, and advocacy.

According to research, it is very clear that social, economic status influence ones are functioning including mental and physical health. Individuals in the lowest economic status are characterized by poor health, low education level as well as poor health and can negatively be influencing society. Similarly, there is inequality in qualities of life, resource and health distribution in America and all over the world. Giving a lot of attention to social, economic inequality could help in laying the foundation of reducing the gaps existing in among the people in the American community (Du Huimin 91)..

It is also very important to note that one’s economic status determines their capability of attaining education and other development projects. For instance, in contemporary society, it is very true that children from a family with higher social, the economic status will have higher academic skills, than those coming from low social, economic Statius. For example, we can say that students coming from rich families will have access to the high schools and well as the best education facilities and material while the poor will be challenged in raising the fees for their children education(Hatt 370). Additionally, students said to come from poor families have poor cognitive development, memory, social, emotional processing, and language these reflect their future life’s as they approach the adulthood since they will never get jobs or better education to improve their living standards. Low economic status of the student tend to affect them completely in their academic life; they cannot even concentrate on what is being taught yet resulting to a low level of education(Du Huimin 90). Additionally, where there is poor population, there are high cases of school dropouts as well as increased cases of early teenage marriages. These are done by children who cannot be able to access financial support from their families or guardians. Such risks can also be improved through programs such as providing material and financial support to the poor students and families Kincheloe 24).

It should be noted that the level of economic status determines one’s place in society   for instance, there exists a big difference between children coming from different backgrounds. This will be reflected as they start their education system, for instance, children coming from poor families have low chances of facing or experiencing motivation on skill development of reading acquisition such as oral language, vocabulary. Home is said to be the first place where children can start practicing their competency in reading, it depends on the books resources available in their homestead owned by the family the parents attitude towards educating their children and most importantly the capability of the parents or guardians to purchase the book need by their children at a specific period of time (Entwisle 30). Having such material could help to enhance the children formal education acquisition. In the families of the rich we have all sorts of reading materials which could be of help to their young children ,this is due to the fact that, the parents are literate and understand the benefit of sending their children to school, I fundamentally believe that the level of economic status result to creation of a social, economic classes .

There is the likelihood of even getting a home tutor who guides the children from the reach families towards skills building, academic advancement and gaining skills while at home, unfortunately among the poor we don’t have such opportunities and children have little access to sources of information.The economic gaps and keep widening as students grow and even join colleges, it is evidence that students coming from low-income families could have higher education loan debts. Their counterparts have no need of getting such loans and are living in comfort, that’s why they emerge among the best in academic performance since they are not exposed to any hardship in life and academic level.Many researchers show that in America society those coming from low economic status develop academic skills at low rates than those from the elites in the society(Entwisle 45).

It is worth noting that the school environment plays a major role in students’ academic attainment than home. The classroom environment also determines the capability of the student to understand and comprehend what is being taught by their teachers. therefore we can say That environment has a better role in determining the ability of children to develop academically(Krueger 35).In the modern era, it is very true that cases of inequality among our higher learning institutions are very common, lack of diversity policies in the universities has led to inequality based on student’s subjectification in our higher learning institutions. It can be true to say that children coming from poor and lower class family may have semiskilled or unqualified teachers. This could influence their capacity to perform in the class work, and importantly it is the role of the government and the key stakeholders in the education system to ensure that every child has access to better education. There is need of coming up with programs aimed at improving learning and teaching environment, building learning community, parental involvement as well as increased funding and education resources al which could result to improving the student learning capabilities. This could make them at least have similar experiences to those coming from rich families.

Social class determines ones academic level in the society sadly the poor are associated with lower academic development since they have a low rate to progress academically as compared to students from rich families. According to recent surveys children from these poor families enter into school with a gap in literacy skill .they are actually 5 years behind those from the royal families. There minimum cases of school dropout in families living in high economic status as compared to lower level economic status. Generally, their students from a poor family cannot be capable of succeeding in sciences, mathematics, engineering, and technology as compared to their counterparts from the elite families.

According to researches done in America students coming from rich families have a high likelihood of obtaining a bachelor’s degree than those from a poor background? There are a lot of health-related issues associated with children from poor families; they have decreased education success, always stressed and had high cases of ill health these leads to adverse outcomes in their academics.It is very true that when it comes to showing learnings g related behavior children from high social, economic status are twice better than the children from poor families. Children from poor families are also associated with emotional distress, due to family economic stress as well as individual financial constraints.

There is some research showing that school with a majority of students from poor families have inadequate facilities and reading materials, for instance, there are few library resources than schools of the rich in the society. This generally predicts the academic outcome of the students from both institutions, and it can, therefore, be concluded that students from low-level families tend to have low education level(Krueger25).

In a nutshell, it is worthy to note that social class is a big determiner of one’s careers aspiration as it is a factor that influences one’s achievement and trajectory in life. One background is very key as the most successful families are connected to better career aspiration since the students are highly motivated and guided by their parents and guardian in selecting a career to pursue .this is in one way or the other preparing the child to face the world it is very clear that consequently children from rich family background are ready to face the world of work and have easy access to the career office and can thus get better jobs than children from the [poor families. Studies indicate that people from low economic class have less career related self-efficiency in vocational needs as compared to those coming from rich families.
