Education happens through both formal and informal systems; both foster cultural transmission. Universal access to education is a worldwide concern

Educational systems around the world have many differences, though the same factors—including resources and money—affect every educational system. Educational distribution is a major issue in many nations, including in the United States, where the amount of money spent per student varies greatly by state.

education — a social institution through which a society’s children are taught basic academic knowledge, learning skills, and cultural norms. cultural transmission — the way people come to learn the values, beliefs, and social norms of their culture. universal access — the equal ability of all people to participate in an education system. grade inflation — the idea that the achievement level associated with an A today is notably lower than the achievement level associated with A-level work a few decades ago.
