Abstract: This study aimed to analyze how higher education students‘ backgrounds can lead to inequality in terms of educational attainment. We employed Chi-Square analysis on 127 respondents gathered from an online survey questionnaire completed by undergraduate students. The finding suggests that inequality did exist. From the perspective of high school origin (vocational high school compared to traditional high school), there is a significant difference between the two, with the number of students coming from traditional high schools more than vocational high schools. Furthermore, inequality also did exist from the perspective of socioeconomic status (SES). The result suggests that there is a significant difference between the number of students from low, medium, and high SES. We recommend decision makers, both from the government and university levels, to make new policies that can help unprivileged groups so that educational attainment gaps can be reduced, if not eliminated.
