Disparities in education refer to the unequal access to quality learning opportunities among different groups of students. Factors such as socioeconomic status, race, and geographic location can significantly impact the resources available to students, including funding for schools, access to experienced teachers, and availability of advanced courses. These inequalities can lead to significant differences in academic achievement and future opportunities. For example, students from low-income families may attend underfunded schools with fewer extracurricular activities, while those in wealthier areas often benefit from more comprehensive educational programs and support systems, contributing to the achievement gap in education.
