This study explores the relationship between family’s socio-economic status and children’s educational gap since the bipolarization of economic structure and collapse of the middle class begun with the IMF era in 1997. There exist more developed countries with greater bipolarization of economic structure than Korea. However, the extreme obsession in education of Korean parents causes the bipolarization of economic structure to lead to bipolarization of social structure and continuous hand down of poverty. Therefore, educational inequality among Korean children is substantially determined by difference in family’s socio-economic status as the wealthy parents actively provides expensive private education for their children. Generally parental income significantly correlates with children’s educational achievement. But the educational inequality caused by family’s socio-economic status becomes more critical as the children obtain degrees from different colleges and presented with different career opportunities. The gap between the rich and the poor widens as different career opportunities which means different level of income generated. Children from economically upper class can attend selective colleges and have positive effects on yielding high economic returns and are provided with a chance to find a better marriage partner, while children from economically lower class are deprived of these opportunities. This study examines the affects of bipolar socio-economic structure on education and how to mitigate the portion of educational inequality derived by bipolar socio-economic structure.
