Abstract

The article reviews the relationship between social mobility, social inequality, and higher education, emphasizing the critical role of higher education in addressing these issues. The book discussed in the article, "Social Mobility, Social Inequality and the Role of Higher Education," provides an in-depth analysis and practical approaches to creating a more inclusive society. While the book offers valuable insights, it falls short in addressing broader societal forces that shape access and implementation, as well as systemic barriers to achieving cultural inclusiveness. Despite some limitations, the volume is recommended for policymakers, educators, and researchers interested in understanding how higher education influences social mobility and inequality.
