underrepresented students

Underrepresented students are groups of students who are less frequently seen or heard in educational settings compared to their overall population. This may include students from racial and ethnic minorities, low-income backgrounds, students with disabilities, or those from rural areas. They often face additional challenges and barriers to accessing quality education and opportunities. Recognizing underrepresented students helps educators and policymakers work toward more equitable schools that support diversity, inclusion, and success for all students, ensuring that everyone's potential is recognized and nurtured.
