EDUCATION  FOR SOCIALLY,ECONOMICALLY AND CULTURALLY DEPRIVED

   SOCIAL DEPRIVATION

                        Social deprivation is the reduction or prevention of culturally normal interaction between an individual and the rest of society. The term "social deprivation" is slightly ambiguous and lacks a concrete definition. There are several important aspects that are consistently found within research on the subject. With social deprivation one may have limited access to the social world due to factors such as low socioeconomic status or poor education. The socially deprived may experience "a deprivation of basic capabilities due to a lack of freedom, rather than merely low income." This lack of freedoms may include reduced opportunity, political voice, or dignity.

  ^{ECONOMIC DEPRIVATION}

           Economic deprivation is defined as the lack of sufficient income for people to play roles, participate in the relationships, and take part in the accepted behavior expected of them by the society. Take for instance, the need for a telephone or a car. In a developed country these gadgets are necessities in order to secure jobs and maintain relations with family and friends. Economic deprivation in this instance then means the inability to secure or afford necessities for survival.

             Despite making huge economic strides in the last years, economic deprivation still remains a serious problem in the world particularly in the third world countries.  Economic deprivation is a state of income inequality wherein income generated by an individual is not enough to cover his basic needs. Economic deprivation has increased the gap between rich and poor where the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. This is so because rich people have the financial means to create more wealth. Economically deprived people, on the other hand, barely have enough for subsistence.

CULTURAL DEPRIVATION

           Cultural deprivation is a theory in sociology that claims that members of the working class cannot easily acquire cultural capital, hampering their access to education and upward social mobility.

        Cultural deprivation is a theory in sociology that claims that members of the working class cannot easily acquire cultural capital, hampering their access to education and upward social mobility.

       Proponents of this theory argue that working class culture (regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or other factors) inherently differs from that of people in the middle class. This difference in culture means that while middle-class children can easily acquire cultural capital by observing their parents, working-class children cannot, and this deprivation isself-perpetuating.

       The theory claims that the middle class gains cultural capital as the result of primary socialization, while the working class does not. Cultural capital helps the middle class succeed society because their norms and values facilitate educational achievement and subsequent employability. Working class members of society that lack cultural capital do not pass it on to their children, reproducing the class system. Middle class children's culture capital allows them to communicate with their middle class teachers more effectively than working class children which contributes to social inequality.

           Bourdieu claimed that state schools are set up to make everybody middle class, although only the middle class and some high achieving working class have the cultural capital to achieve this. From a Marxist perspective cultural deprivation observes that the resources available to the working class are limited, and that working class children enter school less-well prepared than others.
