Abstract

This chapter examines the systemic inequities that contribute to educational marginalization, analyzing their historical and contemporary impact on student achievement. It explores how racial, socioeconomic, and institutional barriers continue to limit access to quality education for marginalized communities. The discussion highlights the long-standing disparities in school funding, disciplinary policies, and educational opportunities that disproportionately affect students of color, students with disabilities, and those from low-income backgrounds. Furthermore, it investigates the implications of these inequities on academic performance, graduation rates, and long-term economic mobility. The chapter concludes with strategies for fostering an equitable educational environment through policy reforms, culturally responsive teaching, and the implementation of inclusive school practices.
