Education Equality and Access

Education equality and access concern the idea that all individuals should have the same opportunities to access education and achieve comparable outcomes. It examines the presence or absence of disparities in educational resources, opportunities, and outcomes based on factors such as socio-economic status, race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and geographic location.

When evaluating policies, voters might consider policies regarding the distribution of educational resources across schools and districts, approaches to supporting diverse student populations within the educational system, proposals related to special education provision and resources, views on the variety of school choices available to families and the implications of these choices as well as stances on access to higher education, admissions criteria, and financial aid.
