Summary/Abstract: Nowadays our place in the hierarchical structure of social relations (social ladder) is defined by education, knowledge and professional skills we possess. Broadly conceived education has a determining influence on the social position and prestige of individuals as well as social groups and even whole societies (states). The Human Development Index has become the most frequently used synthetic measure of social development adopted for respective countries all over the world. This index is based not only on economic development, but also the health and education factors.
