1. Introduction

Education has a significance in realizing equality. The more educated people we have, the stronger our aspiration for equality gets. Our society could become more equal with a growing possibility of mobility between classes through education. In the past, those who led the movement in favor of modern public education emphasized the involvement and responsibility of the nation in education.

At the same time, it emphasizes that we need to focus on not only the current status of life-long education inequality but also ideology as a cause of lasting inequality despite the efforts with a pursuit of equality. By doing so, we could take terms with inequality derived from structural traits of members of society and also policy response to address inequality could go beyond the level of general policy.
