Abstract

Among the phenomena that characterize modern society it is possible to note the appearance of complex political, occupational, and sectorial systems of status and the weakening of the ‘class’ factor in its ideological meaning. The main result of this development was the steadily increasing conflictbetween, on the one hand, the trends of economic development and the new centers of power and, on the other hand, the mobility of new groups. All the groups competed among themselves over the additions of income, accessibility to economic resources, and positions of influencein the government system as well as over the creation of autonomous frameworks. An important part in these sectorial formations is related to the positioning of education in the entire stratifiedsystem. The statement that the extension of education has not resulted in the reduction of social gaps in the professional field,especially between employees, is correct, yet conversely it did drive a process of change in the evaluation of different subjects and a change in the perception of education as a necessary state of specialization. This aspect constitutes an important factor in the processing of the stratifiedmap and in the formation of the class awareness. The education systems, which are the main organizations to inculcate education, can determine who is qualifiedand who is not qualifiedto filldifferent employment roles; they have become the main device for the achievement of social and economic status.

Education constitutes an important step in the determination of the level of income, instills prestige and respect, in the social aspect and access to focuses of political power and influence. The government, since it is responsible for the shaping of the values of the educational system, will determine the appearance of future society
Established parents from a Western origin feared that the practical interpretation of the integration is a decline in the level of education in comparison to the level that their children would receive in separate frameworks in homogeneous schools. This group, whose children succeed in the homogenous school and receive both better education services and greater educational credit for the continuation of their scholastic and social advancement, sees the political integration that may undermine its social achievements and its ability to maintain these achievements
