The analysis of the publicness of education within the framework of Bourdieu's Theory of Capital

The aim of this study is to examine the public characteristics of education within the framework of Pierre Bourdieu's capital theory. Education is often characterized as a service that enables social mobility. However, in daily life, it is observed that disruptions in the provision of educational services often constitute an barrier to social cohesion. In societies consisting of members with different economic, social and cultural capital stocks, it is essential for the public sector to ensure equal opportunity in education in order to spread solidarity practices and ensure social cohesion. Within the scope of the thesis research, it has been evaluated that the reproduction of inequalities is inevitable if the public sector does not make the necessary arrangements within the framework of the examinations made from the perspective of Bourdieu sociology.
