Countries that offer inclusive public education foster social mobility and provide a greater sense of empowerment and autonomy to all citizens.
Numerous studies have shown that there is a clear link between socioeconomic status, health, and longevity. In the field of health, this relationship is known as the social gradient, and it is important to understand how education, employment, and income affect well-being and how they interact with each other.
In this sense, education stands out as a key and stable factor that not only influences income and job opportunities but also has a significant impact on behavior, lifestyle, and predisposition to trust science and medical advice.
Education is an essential aspect of life that goes beyond the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills. According to several studies, educational level directly influences health and longevity, characteristics that define quality of life. This is because a better education guarantees greater job opportunities and also makes it possible to be better informed. It also strengthens critical thinking and the ability to make informed health decisions.
The role of public education in welfare
In a society where education is accessible to all through a free public system, opportunities are generated to improve not only individual but also collective development. Countries that offer inclusive public education foster social mobility and provide a greater sense of empowerment and autonomy to all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic status. This, in turn, has a positive impact on people’s lifestyles and behaviors, which translates into better health and living longer.
It is important to highlight the importance of research in the field of education and teachers, as it provides evidence of the positive impact of public education on society. Education professionals play a fundamental role in the formation of new generations and in the construction of a more just and equitable society. In addition, these results can be key elements to be taken into account in public policies on education and health.
