ABSTRACT

This study examines the relationship between family education expenditure and education equalization, focusing on the role of social policy in promoting educational opportunities for all. The research finds a positive correlation between education equalization and family education expenditure, indicating that increased investment in education by families contributes to greater equity in educational outcomes. Through a survey of parents of students, it is observed that there is a positive relationship between education equalization and family education expenditure. This suggests that parents who prioritize education and allocate more resources towards it tend to support policies and initiatives aimed at reducing educational disparities and promoting equal access to quality education for all students.
