This paper compare educational achievements of students in Podlaskie Voivodeship in the context of other regions of Poland. As has been shown in previous research students is southern, central and eastern Poland (Małopolskie, Mazowieckie, Podlaskie, Lodzkie, Podkarpackie, Świętokrzyskie) score higher on external exit exams compared to student from western regions. Among the other factors, the size of the differences depends on the exam subject – it is larger for mathematics, but blurs in computer science and nonsexist in English. Educational advantage of Podlaskie Voivodeship disappear when percent of population with tertiary education is analyze. Three main hypothesis has been discussed to explain those differences: demographical, exam frauds and cultural impacts.

The paper aims to review main approaches in research on educational inequalities, focusing mainly on quantitative studies of social structure. The review starts with a discussion of the 'status attainment school' developed in nineteen sixties, followed by 'educational transition approach' and empirical generalizations proposed in nineteen nineties, namely 'maximally maintained inequality', 'effectively maintained inequality' and rational choice theory. The article shows how the concept of educational process has been redefined in these perspectives, what research questions have been asked and what types of statistical techniques have been used. Such comparison leads to the conclusion that changes in research strategies in the past five decades evolved towards more valid and detailed models which were better fitted to actual educational paths. Nevertheless they can be still seen as rather crude research patterns. Their application in the context of differentiation of educational institutions can seriously limit possibilities of asking new questions concerning educational stratification.

W artykule dokonujemy syntezy istniejącej wiedzy na temat struktury społecznej i jej współczesnych przemian w teoretycznym kontekście pojęcia kapitałów (nie tylko materialnego, ale także społecznego, ludzkiego, edukacyjnego). Proponujemy równocześnie spojrzenie na mobilność społeczną przez pryzmat koncepcji konwersji kapitałów. Na tej podstawie staramy się pokazać, że nierówności i możliwości awansu społecznego są pochodną kluczowych systemów instytucjonalnych, które we współczesnym świecie podlegają daleko idącej konwergencji.

In this article we aim to synthesize existing knowledge on social structure and its contemporary changes in the context of the notion of capitals (not only material, but social, human, educational as well). We also propose to look at mobility from the perspective of conversions of those capitals. Based on that, we try to show that inequalities and prospects of upward mobility is contingent on key institutional systems in contemporary societies, which tend to converge.
