Educational Equity

The achievement gap between racial minorities and whites as well as between the rich and the poor is one of the prominent issues of modern American education. CEPA informs policymakers with empirical research on the causes and effects of unequal educational opportunities. CEPA researchers study the performance gap due to race, gender, family income, disabilities, resource allocation, and other factors, as well as the effectiveness of strategies that try to close these gaps.
