Value orientations refer to the principles and beliefs that guide individuals in
their decision-making and interactions with others. These orientations are shaped by
various factors, including family, education, media, and the broader sociocultural
environment.
Value orientations, being one of the central personal formations, express a
person's conscious attitude towards social reality and, in this capacity, determine the

broad motivation of their behavior and significantly influence all aspects of their
reality. [ 2 ]
One of the most pressing sociocultural problems affecting schoolchildren is
social inequality. Social inequality "is the condition where people have unequal
access to valued resources, services, and positions in the society" [5] There are 5
types of social inequalities:
- racial inequality
- wealth inequality
- gender inequality
- geographical inequality
- educational inequality
Racial inequality remains a pervasive issue that shapes the experiences and
development of children across various societies.
Racial inequality
is the unequal distribution of resources, power, and economic
opportunity across race in a society. [8]
Racial inequality has damaging effect on schoolchildren
’
s mental health. It
causes to have bad conditions like depression, fear, distress, insomnia, anxiety, low
self-esteem and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). The systemic challenges
encountered by children of color can greatly impact their value orientations
—
shaping
their self-perception, their views of others, and their understanding of the world.
Value orientations refer to the principles and beliefs that guide individuals' behavior
and decision-making. They encompass a range of factors, including self-worth,
interpersonal relationships, and social responsibilities. For schoolchildren, these
orientations are crucial as they navigate their formative years, establishing their
identities and understanding their place within society. However, when racial
inequality is present, these value orientations can be distorted, leading to long-term
consequences for affected children.
Wealth inequality significantly affects schoolchildren, particularly through
disparities in education. Schools located in wealthy areas typically receive more
financial support, enabling them to offer superior facilities, qualified teachers, and a
broader range of extracurricular options. In contrast, schools in low-income
neighborhoods often endure budget reductions, resulting in overcrowded classrooms,
outdated resources, and restricted access to advanced classes. This imbalance fosters
an environment where children from affluent backgrounds have more opportunities to
pursue their interests and cultivate their skills.

Wealth inequality
refers to the uneven allocation of resources and assets among
different individuals or groups within a society or nation.
The Julius Baer Foundation which based in Zurich, Switzerland strategically
supports projects that help counterbalance the wealth divide and build trust between
all groups in society. [9]
Gender inequality
is discrimination on the basis of sex or gender causing one
sex or gender to be routinely privileged or prioritized over another. [10]
Gender inequality is evident in various forms, such as unequal educational
opportunities, societal expectations, and access to resources. These inequalities can
significantly influence how children view their own potential and the roles they are
expected to fulfill in society. For example, when girls are dissuaded from studying
subjects like mathematics or science because of stereotypes regarding gender
abilities, they may absorb these beliefs, resulting in lower self-esteem and a restricted
sense of agency. In contrast, boys may feel compelled to adhere to traditional
masculine ideals that discourage them from expressing emotions or showing
vulnerability.
This unequal treatment can result in distorted value orientations among
schoolchildren. Girls might place greater importance on relationships and caregiving
rather than ambition and leadership, while boys may resort to aggressive or
competitive behaviors to prove their worth. These value orientations not only hinder
individual potential but also reinforce a cycle of inequality that impacts future
generations.
At the same time, education and the relationship between families and school
are also greatly influenced by the academic achievement of ethnic minority students.
[6] Multiple studies indicate that students often feel a disconnect between their
values, attitudes, and behaviors and the socio-cultural environment of their school,
leading to discomfort from being seen as different by their peers.
