Analysis of educational inequalities in the light of the developments of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

The present article has been compiled with the aim of exploring the theoretical and experimental foundations of educational inequalities in the light of the developments of industrial revolutions, especially the fourth industrial revolution. Using the method of qualitative meta-analysis, the theoretical foundations and infrastructures of the developments resulting from the four industrial revolutions have been studied. Then the effects of revolutions and especially the fourth industrial revolution on educational inequalities in three main areas: access to or access to education; Resources at the disposal of the educational system; and was evaluated in terms of the performance of the educational system. The results showed that based on the theoretical foundations of economic inequality (Kuznets), social theory or the school of conflict and competition (Marx and the Frankfurt school), cultural theory (Bourdieu) and the theory of educational inequality (Rawls), the problem of inequality in the system can be stated. Education is constantly expanding in the three main areas of access, resources and performance of the education system. The first to third industrial revolutions have increased the quantitative and qualitative depth of educational inequalities, especially in developing or low-growth countries in the three main areas of access, resources and performance of the education system. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, with the emergence of opportunities such as the integration of technologies based on physical cyber systems and digital transformation, has positive, negative and conditional effects on the access, resources and performance of the educational system and educational inequalities.
