Access to education is not only the presence of institutions offering
general education, but also the fact that it meets the needs of a wide range
of education players and the society. Access to education should ensure
the justice in the society, although scientists argue that education system is
usually powerless to correct other social systems created by inequality and
injustice. Therefore, often education system itself reproduces social inequalities
caused by social, political and economic factors. Successful participation
of all social groups in the process of education is the essential tool
to palliate social inequality, to reduce poverty and social marginalization.
Accessible and quality education system ensures better life, social mobility,
and provides status. Presentation of research the interrogation X-XII
(II-IV gymnasium) students. The respondent groups (control and target)
were submitted identical questionnaire, which aimed to investigate and
determine whether student responses to questions about the accessibility
to education and equal participation in education differ when they belong
to different social groups.
