socioeconomic disparities in education

Socioeconomic disparities in education refer to the gap in educational opportunities and outcomes between individuals from different economic backgrounds. Children from wealthier families often have access to better schools, resources, extracurricular activities, and support systems, which can lead to higher academic achievement. Conversely, students from lower-income families may face challenges such as underfunded schools, fewer educational resources, and limited support at home. These differences can influence future opportunities, making it harder for disadvantaged students to reach their full potential. Addressing these disparities requires policies that promote equitable access to quality education for all students.
