Education is essential to economic growth, and poverty reduction.

Inequality affects us in many

ways, one of which is education. Inequality is perhaps the most serious problem in education
worldwide. It has multiple causes, and its consequences include differences in access to schooling,
retention, and, more importantly, learning. Globally, these differences correlate with the level of
development of various countries and regions. In individual States, access to school is tied to students'
overall well-being, their social origins, and cultural backgrounds. Around the world, 258 million of
the world’s children, adolescents, and youth, are out of school. Additionally, due to the absence of
equitable wealth and income allotment in recent years, poverty, unequal distribution of
resources, and endemic inequalities, movement up the social ladder becomes a difficult task,
while academic accomplishments tend to suffocate. Moreover, the disparity in education
amplifies. Furthermore, this issue is heightened by the persistent stress due to the hardships of
their home life Inequality in education can lead to overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, scarce
learning materials, and outdated technology. It is also a loss to society when children’s talents
are allowed to go fallow for lack of sufficient support. The consequences of inequality in
education are long-lasting, making it essential to address them now. Some ways to prevent
inequality is to ensure that these early gains are maintained support. Through assessment, the
learning and progress of students in individual countries can be measured. Through the testing,
governments can assess the quality of their education programs. The Education for All Act or
EFA is a global commitment to provide quality basic education for all. Global Partnership for
Education, or GPE, focuses on the poorest countries to educate their youth. Based on this
observation, equity became a key issue in the debates on an educational goal in the upcoming
international agenda. Equality gained a prominent status in the wording of what was to become
SDG 4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all”.
