Social mobility influences' education in that, a person's position in a stratification system has an important effect on many areas of life. A parent's position may enhance or reduce chances of his/her child attending schools with better facilities, qualified teachers and living in an environment conducive to learning. A parent's movement from a lower to middle class status usually results in better educational opportunities and improvement in their children's school attainment, while movement from middle to low class usually leads to poor academic performance.
A family's upward mobility may be reflected in education. The parents are able to provide academic materials and tuition. They are also likely to live in quiet, peaceful environments that are favourable to learning. The family experiences fewer cases of school dropouts. Downward mobility, on the other hand, increases the likelihood of school dropouts. The immediate environment is noisy, congested and insecure and therefore a major hindrance to learning.
Therefore, there is a direct relationship between a family's socio economic status and the level of education it gives its children.
