Abstract

Abstract: This research is based on the documentary analysis of the main reasons that influence educational inequality in Ecuador, whose main objective is to identify the most relevant factors in the last decade, and has as its specific objective to show the factors that affect economic inequality directly and indirectly, as well as the sectors of the country, ethnicities, social classes and regions most affected. From a qualitative approach, descriptive results are obtained based on the importance of the factors that affect educational inequality in Ecuador,such as: a) public expenditure on education b) social and cultural origin c) ethnic origin d) demography e) geographical location. The research allows us to identify that the increase in public spending on education allows greater opportunities for schooling for citizens, especially for those belonging to groups with low incomes, indigenous communities, montubios, citizensof the Coast, East regions and citizens living in rural areas.
