racial disparities in education

Racial disparities in education refer to the unequal opportunities and outcomes experienced by students of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Factors such as historic segregation, unequal funding, biased disciplinary policies, and limited access to quality resources often lead to minority students having fewer academic resources, lower graduation rates, and less preparation for higher education or good jobs. These disparities result from complex social, economic, and policy issues, and addressing them requires systemic changes to ensure all students have equitable access to quality education and support.
