高等院校分层:一种社会阶层分析的视角

Stratification in Higher Education Institution:a Perspective from Social Class

在以美、英两国为代表的西方学界,学者们通过研究揭示了基于不同社会阶层存在于学生中的不公平现象:来自优势地位阶层的学生更多地聚集在院校系统的上层,而来自弱势地位阶层的学生则更多聚集在院校系统的下层。与美、英两国相比,中国社会的阶层分类虽有自身的特点,但许多学者的研究也揭示出基于社会阶层存在于学生中的不公平现象也十分明显。这表明,高等院校方层是客观存在的。

In western researches which are represented by American and British scholars, many scholars reveal that the disparities between different social classes＂ students exist in the stratification in higher education institution. Many dominant classes＂ students possess the elite universities, and many vulnerable classes＂ students have to go to the non-elite universities. Compared with America and British, Chinese mainland has different classifications on social stratum, but the unfair phenomenon about the stratification in higher education institution has also been described in scholars＂ researches.
