Income inequality is a big factor in educational inequality. According to a report by the Economic Policy Institute, it is “one of today’s most pressing economic issues,” and is at a “worrisome level.” The report adds, however: “Rising inequality might not be such a major concern if our education, economic, and social protection systems acted as compensatory mechanisms, helping individuals, and especially children, rise above their birth circumstances and improve their mobility.
