The educational system preserves privileged access to some position, making success more difficult for those without economic privilege.

Explanation:

Our educational system is such that there are certain positions which are reserved for people or students having a beneficial economic background and the children or people who are poor cannot get access to those positions. A person belonging to a poor family has to strive hard for his goals as compared to a person who has a rich background and can easily claim certain goals through money or through power of money.
