THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL STRATIFICATION ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Social stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals or groups within a society based on factors such as social class, race, gender, and economic status. This article focuses on exploring the impact of social stratification on academic performance, particularly in the context of educational settings. Research indicates that social stratification can significantly influence students' academic outcomes. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds, such as low-income families or marginalized communities, often face barriers that hinder their academic success. These barriers may include limited access to quality education, inadequate resources, lack of parental support, and exposure to adverse social conditions.
