The Equity and Excellence Commission

The Equity and Excellence Commission was established in the United States to address disparities in education and promote equal opportunities for all students, particularly in K-12 schools. The commission focused on identifying barriers that prevent students from achieving excellence, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. It aimed to recommend strategies to improve education quality, reduce dropout rates, and ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, or background, have access to high-quality educational resources and environments. The goal is to create a more equitable education system where every student can succeed.
