The Path to Educational Equity
Educational inequality remains a fundamental challenge for modern democracies, dictating long-term outcomes in employment, health and wealth. Research indicates that these disparities are not just a product of schooling but are visible as early as 9 months of age, with children from migrant, ethnic minority and low-income backgrounds facing the steepest barriers (Halle et al., 2009; Farquharson et al., 2024).
