It starts in kindergarten: New research shows education is actually reinforcing income inequality
Education is often sold as a great equalizer, but new research suggests it’s actually reinforcing inequality.
The answer, according to Carnevale: “It’s not a meritocracy, it is more and more an aristocracy posing as a meritocracy.” Schools that serve low-income communities and students of color are typically working with far fewer resources than those in wealthier and whiter communities. The “systemic effect” is “institutional class bias and institutional racism,” Carnevale said. That, he added, can make it challenging for talented, low-income students to maintain their advantages.
• Tenth graders who come from families in the lowest income level and score in the top half on high school math assessments have a 47% chance of attaining that goal, the study found.
