In capitalism, Marxism analyzes the inequality of class systems alongside education, understanding both as subordinate life forms within the capitalist framework. Education perpetuates class divides by providing access to the lower levels of schooling based on parental socioeconomic status. However, it can also promote social revolutions and reforms. Their model of critique provides a cohesive framework through which social inequalities may be addressed. Using dialectical reconstructions, this study demonstrates how education reproduces the control mechanisms of the dominant social group, along with the redistributing systems, which revolve around the core of the class struggle towards leveling conflicts. Also, the guiding document discusses how education becomes the means of bringing about changes toward social justice.
