Abstract
The article proposes an adaptation of the Gini Index (or Coefficient), customary to measure inequality in the economy and other sciences, to sociological research of education. It explains in detail the operation of the index, its calculation mechanics, and its advantages and exposes three calculations, with different calculation procedures, applied to the educational field: one related to public investment in higher education, another referring to the adjustments of university trajectories and the last one related to language skills
