This phenomenon will lead to the layering of society which will be a differentiator of one’s position in a vertically different position. Differentiating one’s position in the society is called social stratification. Then education becomes one of the factors that cause social start in the community. At present in Indonesia, social stratification is a differentiator of individuals into classes hierarchically.
