Why isn't there quality education everywhere?
Geographic Position
Students who live in rural areas cannot always pursue higher education due to the high cost of being far from home.
Studies have shown that students who live in remote areas typically perform lower in secondary schools than their peers.
Students residing in the Australian Outback are typically situated far from schools, depriving them of the benefits of interacting with fellow students and teachers.
Students from remote areas typically face challenges in pursuing their school-related interests.
Some schools are located in areas with severe climates making it difficult for students to get to school.
Lack of Teachers
The Netherlands is facing difficulties as numerous recent education graduates lag behind in the requisite language proficiency levels.
In France, this issue is occurring as a result of inadequate salaries and unfavorable working conditions.
In the United Kingdom, a shortage of teachers has arisen, mirroring the situation in the United States. This shortage can be attributed to diminishing pay value and unfavorable working conditions.
The Philippines is currently grappling with a shortage of teachers, primarily stemming from the lengthy six-month hiring process.
In the United States, a shortage of teachers has emerged in recent times, primarily attributed to pandemic-related burnout and inadequate compensation. Additionally, challenging working conditions have further exacerbated this deficiency..

Inadequate Resources and Training
In lower-income areas, teachers often lack the necessary resources to fully instruct subjects.
Certain teachers are inadequately prepared to work with students who have disabilities, resulting in an unfair and detrimental learning experience.
When schools are deficient in supplies, students are unable to access the complete information on a subject, leading to a correlation with lower test scores.
Schools often must wait many years before buying new textbooks, resulting in students not receiving the most up-to-date knowledge on subjects.
In some areas students are not given qualified teachers so they only receive basic literacy and math skills.
In high-poverty areas students cannot afford resources such as pencils and notebooks and the schools are unable to help them either.
Prejudice
Minority students are more likely to be enrolled in schools that do not have advanced courses.
In certain nations, students from diverse ethnic backgrounds or those with disabilities encounter significant barriers in gaining access to education.
According to a study, Black students from kindergarten through 12th grade were found to be 3.8 times more likely to face suspension compared to their White peers.
Students from various ethnic backgrounds frequently find that their heritage is either not mentioned or that their stories have been modified or omitted
Schools that serve more ethnic students often lack resources such as counselors.
Lack of Funding
Due to a lack of funding children in high-poverty areas are less likely to achieve national average or higher scores on standardized tests.
These problems tend to become worse after a recession and persist even after the recovery period.
There has been a direct correlation that under funded schools have lower achievement levels.
The absence of adequate funding symbolizes a broader lack of care and support for the U.S. education system by the government.
In the United States, schools at the local level are funded through property taxes, which often leads to lower-income areas having schools with reduced funding.
