Equity in Education Funding

Equity in education funding refers to the principle of ensuring that all students receive the resources they need to succeed, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. This means allocating funding based on specific needs, such as socioeconomic status or special education requirements, rather than equally distributing funds among all schools. The goal is to bridge gaps in opportunity and outcomes, so that every student, regardless of where they live or their family's income, has access to quality education, experienced teachers, and supportive learning environments. It seeks to level the playing field for all learners.
