education gaps
Unequal academic achievement
Education gaps are disparities in academic achievement, resources, or opportunities between different groups of students—typically divided by race, income, geography, or other demographic factors.
The term usually refers to measurable differences in test scores, graduation rates, or access to quality instruction: The education gap between wealthy and poor districts has widened.
Closing education gaps is a persistent goal of school reform efforts.
