This article discusses how the conditions of the socioeconomic environment affect mobility at the secondary, middle and upper levels of education. Our analysis focuses on the influence of parents' educational level to evaluate intergenerational mobility in education. Using a logit model of dynamic sequential decision our results show that the conditions of the home affect the progress in the education system since parents with higher education levels are a strong leverage to boost their children through the system even higher education, this influence being stronger when it comes to the mother education level.
