What are some creative and actionable solutions?
"Concretely, the first solution would be to reduce class distinctions among students by doing away with the property tax as a primary funding source. This is a significant driver for education inequality because low-income students, by default, will receive less. Instead, the state government should create more significant initiatives and budgets for equitable funding" (Martin, J. 2020). Some creative ways to create a solution is by increasing preschool high quality instruction. " Researchers estimate that half of the achievement gap in high school can be attributed to children’s experiences before age 5. Preschool programs can help children gain four months of additional learning, and the highest-quality programs have been shown to help children gain an additional year of learning " (Olinsky, B. 2014). Another way would be by supporting teachers by giving them enough time to do professional development, higher salaries and benefits to be able to keep them.
