Racial Inequality in Education

Racial inequality in education refers to the disparities in access to quality education based on race. Historically marginalized groups, particularly Black, Latino, and Indigenous students, often face systemic barriers such as underfunded schools, biased disciplinary practices, and limited access to advanced coursework. These factors contribute to achievement gaps, lower graduation rates, and reduced opportunities for higher education. Addressing this inequality requires reforms that ensure equitable funding, inclusive curricula, and supportive resources for all students, fostering an educational environment that values diversity and promotes equal opportunities for success.
