ABSTRACT

Educational equity remains a critical issue in the United States and globally, with systemic disparities in access and outcomes disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. These inequities, rooted in historical and structural oppression, perpetuate cycles of poverty, limited economic opportunities, and increased involvement in the criminal justice system. This essay examines the multifaceted nature of educational disparities, exploring both structural and relational dimensions and highlighting interventions aimed at promoting equity. Through an analysis of policy measures, legislative actions, and innovative approaches such as technology integration, the essay underscores the importance of addressing these disparities to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in school and life.

Keywords: Educational Equity, Access Disparities, Structural Inequality, Educational Outcomes, Policy Interventions.
