Educational imbalance can be related to the unequal distribution of wealth. In today's world, the disparity of the living conditions of the rich and the poor is glaring. Wealthy individuals multiply their wealth while poor people find their lives continually becoming more and more difficult as each day comes.
- Disparity and Discrepancy – The presence of educational imbalance can be seen in the form of the rich people being able to go to the best universities and making their lives better and their future much brighter. On the other hand, poor individuals even cannot afford the cheapest schools and are denied the chance to make their lives better through education. Education, specifically higher education, has become a luxury which only the well to do has the resources to enjoy while the least fortunate need to focus on thinking where to secure their next meal from and no longer have space in their brain to think about education. They even believe that nobody gets rich through education. Going back to the better off families, they do not need education to uplift their living but they are the ones who has the funds to access education.
- Despair – The world in general and the marginalised poor can only pin their hopes on the governmental and charitable educational programs which are not that progressive. We have no choice but to count on them as the poor people's desperate chance. The middle class is even slowly fading away and mostly assimilating to the lower class. There is a possibility that it will be extinct.
- Deluge – With the erosion of the middle class, the upper class which is comprised of the richest few could be the only ones remaining in education. This would happen if the government, charities and civil society will no longer be able to fund free education for the poor.
