CEVAP:

The concept ‘cultural reproduction’ expresses the process of transferring the culture of the dominant class from generation to generation through the education system. Thus, education is a very important institution in the reproduction of social inequalities. In a more general sense, it is a concept that sheds light on how communities continue to exist and remain stable over long periods of time. Cultural reproduction, therefore, is closely related to the process by which individuals internalize their social cultures, or to the role that institutions of socialization play in this stability. As this is mainly the stability of political structures within society, cultural reproduction can be seen as a process in which political structures are legitimized and gain in authority.
