Racism in Education

Racism in education refers to that which creates unequal opportunities or treatment based on a student's race or ethnicity. It can manifest through biased teaching practices, unequal access to resources, disciplinary actions, or the school environment, which reinforce social disparities. This form of discrimination can hinder students' academic achievement, limit access to advanced opportunities, and impact their self-esteem and future prospects. Addressing racism in education involves recognizing these disparities, promoting inclusivity, and creating equitable learning environments where all students have the same chances to succeed regardless of their racial background.
