We introduce and discuss a system of one-dimensional kinetic equations describing the influence of higher education in the social stratification of a multi-agent society. The system is obtained by coupling a model for knowledge formation with a kinetic description of the social climbing in which the parameters characterizing the elementary interactions leading to the formation of a social elite are assumed to depend on the degree of knowledge/education of the agents. In addition, we discuss the case in which the education level of an individual is function of the position occupied in the social ranking. With this last assumption, we obtain a fully coupled model in which knowledge and social status influence each other. In the last part, we provide several numerical experiments highlighting the role of education in reducing social inequalities and in promoting social mobility.

我们介绍并讨论了一个描述高等教育在多主体社会的社会分层中的影响的一维动力学方程系统。该系统是通过将知识形成模型与社会攀登的动力学描述相结合而获得的，其中假设表征导致社会精英形成的基本相互作用的参数取决于代理人的知识/教育程度。此外，我们讨论了个人的教育水平是社会排名中所占据位置的函数的情况。通过最后一个假设，我们获得了一个完全耦合的模型，其中知识和社会地位相互影响。在最后一部分，
