Educational disparities refer to the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities in education, which can lead to significant differences in academic achievement among students. Factors contributing to these disparities include socioeconomic status, geographic location, and access to quality teachers and schools. These inequalities often affect marginalized groups, including low-income families, racial minorities, and students with disabilities. As a result, students from disadvantaged backgrounds may face challenges such as lower graduation rates and limited access to advanced coursework, which can impact their future opportunities and overall quality of life.
