Educational equity

Okay, so imagine you and your friend are playing a game together. You both have the same amount of toys and snacks to play with. That's fair and equal, right?

Now let's say another friend joins in, but they don't have any toys or snacks. That's not fair or equal anymore, is it? They're at a disadvantage and it's harder for them to play the game.

Educational equity means everyone has an equal chance to learn and do well in school, no matter who they are or where they come from. This includes things like having the same access to good teachers, materials, and resources to help them learn.

But sometimes, some kids don't have the same opportunities as others. For example, some schools might have old textbooks or not enough teachers, while other schools might have brand new textbooks and lots of teachers. This is unfair and unequal.

Educational equity means we try to make things fair and equal for everyone. It's kind of like making sure everyone has the same amount of toys and snacks to play with. That way, everyone can have a fair chance to learn and be successful in school.
