Abstract

The performance of students at secondary and tertiary levels of education is at the core of preparing them for different career opportunities and lifetime earnings potential. This is paramount in the American ideal of achieving ethnic and racial equality. Directly embedded in this ideal also is the belief that is discussed in earlier works that educational programs open opportunities for students to thrive and develop human capital. This chapter discusses in the context of poverty alleviation and equity theory that students' performance and career readiness are significant in achieving both academic success and higher levels of earnings.
