Answer: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict sociologists do not consider that education can decrease social inequality. Instead, they maintain that the educational system perpetuates social disparities that result from differences in class, gender, ethnicity, and race. Furthermore, the educational system reinforces the status quo and promotes obedience among people of lower status.

French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu studied particularly how this situation feeds the reproduction of social inequality.
