socio-economic disparities in education

Socio-economic disparities in education refer to how students' learning experiences and outcomes are influenced by their families' economic and social backgrounds. Students from wealthier or more privileged backgrounds often have access to better schools, resources, extracurricular activities, and support systems. In contrast, those from lower-income families may face challenges like underfunded schools, limited learning materials, and less academic support, which can hinder their educational achievement and opportunities. These disparities contribute to ongoing inequalities, affecting individuals' future jobs, income, and social mobility. Addressing these gaps requires targeted policies and investments to create more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
