The educational achievement gap refers to the disparity in academic performance and success between different groups of students, often defined by socioeconomic status, race, or ethnicity. This gap manifests in various forms, including differences in test scores, graduation rates, and access to advanced coursework. Factors contributing to this gap include differences in resources, teaching quality, and support systems. Addressing the achievement gap is essential for ensuring that all students have equal opportunities to succeed and reach their full potential, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.
