School systems in communism, socialism, and capitalism differ and relate in a number of ways. In a communistic school they provide equal rights to every student and equal pay to every district depending on their needs. The "higher authority" determines the path and the classes of the students, so even though a child may want to pursue a career in a field that isn't their strong point they don't have that choice. In a capitalistic system their schools are almost entirely based off of competition and personal wealth. If you are born into money you have great opportunities to get into a nice school and college and connections in the wealthy business world. If you are born into a poor family you can work yourself up to pay for schooling, but it is a ton of dedication to hard work. You are most likely to be put into the labor force still, since you don't have the background or connections to get the high office jobs. In a socialistic school community you get equal opportunity to go to school like a communistic system, but you also have a chance of getting into a private school like a capitalistic system.
