The statistical sample in the qualitative section consisted of 14 experts and experts in the field of public education who were selected through snowball sampling and in the quantitative section of Tehran elementary school principals, deputies and experts who were selected by multistage cluster sampling. . Data collection tools included semi-structured interview, questionnaire and researcher-made checklist. The results showed that educational inequality in elementary schools in Tehran includes 7 components, 28 indicators; including: input component including 4 indices, school process component including 6 indices, family context component including 6 indices, output component including 8 indices, individual context Inequality includes 4 indices, social and political impacts of inequalities in education 4 indices, geographical indices.
