| Education Equality |
| Education has improoved tremendously over the
past century, but there is still much to be done. Inequality between
genders in specific parts of the world is a big problem. As 130
million girls across the world lack proper access to schooling. This
is not as common in the US as it once was, but it is very common in
the Middle East. There is still a problem in the US though. Not one
school offers the same opportunites. In every state, inequity
between wealthier and poorer school districts continue to exist.
School districts do not have the money that is required to
adequately teach students. Former Education Secretart Arne Duncan
stated, "Our system does not distribute opportunity equitably." The
problem is much of a schools funding is through local taxes, meaning
the less income an area has, the poorer the school is, in vice
versa. Federal and State governments need to chip in more to give
the same educational opportunites to everyone. Malala Fund Education Inequality in America |
