An equitable education system can offset the impact of economic and social inequalities and in the context of education allow individuals to make the most of education regardless of their background. According to the constitution in Iran, education up to the secondary level is free, but due to privatization, this has not only not been achieved but has also led to the reproduction of educational inequality. Accordingly, the theoretical framework of this research is the views of Bulls and Gentis; The idea of incompatibility/agreement, Bourdieu and the theory of reproduction; Michael W. Apple; Critical pedagogy, all of which provide critical insight into educational inequality. Therefore, we used the experiences of high school principals in Sanandaj as a basis for theoretical and experimental analysis to explain the situation of contextual, causal, and interventions of how to reproduce educational inequality, according to which 8 educational principals were interviewed. Continuous data analysis and comparison techniques were used to analyze the data. The results showed that increasing tuition costs acted as a precondition for outsourcing public education and a decrease in educational equity as causal conditions for educational inequality. Also, the economic orientation of private schools as intervening conditions in differentiating the educational sector at the individual, family, and spatial-urban levels is another factor and consequence of this educational inequality.

Abstract
The purpose of the present research was to offer women's narratives of gender inequalities in the field of education in order to identify and analyze the factors and mechanisms of these inequalities in the marginal areas of Naysar, Sanandaj. Any behavior, language, politics, and other actions reflecting the fixed and persistent view of the members of the community of women as subordinate beings means the inequality of gender that takes on more and more meaningful forms in the field of education. For this purpose, it has benefited from three perspectives, i.e., feminist, Bourdieu and Chaftez for theoretical foundations, and used the value of analyzing the content narrative in which uncertainty, complexity, contradictions and dichotomy are not tolerated and shows the subordinate position and life of women. The interviews with 53 women who had experience in life and education at Naysar came to the conclusion that the analysis of the narrative of women shows that inequality takes place in the four areas of the family, the teaching centers, and the local community and the patriarchal system, and its
consistency with the marginal conditions and manifests itself in the sub-themes such as mastery of stereotypes and patriarchal molds, psychological and physical damages of parents, early and premature marriage, lack of attention to educational needs, high cost of educational centers and the provision of inequitable gender education. These sub-themes are overlapping in the field of education and produce and reproduce gender inequality in the field of education in the four main themes: the economic weakness and lack of the family background culture, academic exhaustion, the sense of deprivation of position/marginalization of this gender inequality, and nevertheless, women consider education as a way of development, position and consciousness, but the conditions of marginalization give them less power to maneuver.
