The education gap due to poverty is a multidimensional problem influenced by economic, geographical and structural policy factors. Although various studies have highlighted these determinants, the role of social institutions in addressing education disparities has received less systematic attention. This study aims to examine in depth the strategic contribution of social institutions in reducing inequality in access and quality of education for vulnerable groups. Using a qualitative approach with the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study analyzes scientific publications from the Dimensions and Scopus databases in the period 2020-2025. The analysis shows that social institutions act as catalytic agents in providing alternative education services, building cross-sector partnerships and bridging marginalized groups with the formal education system. The findings also indicate that the effectiveness of interventions depends on synergies between economic, spatial and institutional dimensions. The research emphasizes the importance of collaborative models between social institutions, local governments and the private sector in designing inclusive and sustainable education policies. Recommendations point to the need for longitudinal studies to evaluate the implementation of SDGs-based education policies in areas with high disparities.
