Urban education 

 Urban education is a method of schooling that takes place in large,

densely populated areas with diverse populations. It can refer to the
situations and demands that characterize teaching and learning in large
metropolitan areas
 Why education is important in urban areas?
They have revealed that urban students often secure better grades than
those students from rural regions. The factors that affect performance
among rural students are lack of resources and limited opportunities available
to them.
• Problem #1: Resistance to Change. ...
• Problem #2: Inflexible Education Budgets. ...
• Problem #3: Outdated Professional Development Strategies.

The biggest problem facing education today is the lack of innovation and mobility in
higher education. Because of a number of private and public factors, colleges and
universities have turned into massive private businesses with multi million dollar athletic
departments and multi billion dollar endowments
 Meyer, Gwen; Patton, James M.The ethnic overrepresentation of students in
special education programs has been recognized for decades. African Americans
tend to be significantly over-represented in disability categories and
underrepresented in gifted programs. While Hispanics and Native Americans are
not over-represented in special education programs, they are in certain regions of
the country and experience similar conditions and outcomes as African
Americans. Latino students are more likely to be over-represented in special
education when their proportion of a district's diverse student body increases.
 Poor children also are over-represented. This paper summarizes research on
probable causes of disproportionate representation, including race, culture, class,
gender, socioeconomic status, stereotypes, and definitions of disability. In some
schools, systemic factors related to teacher effectiveness, biased perceptions, and
student opportunities influence overrepresentation. Location, school size, services
available, urbanicity, and specific disability also influence educational practices,
as do inadequate and inappropriate referral, assessment, and evaluation
procedures. Ineffective teaching can result in underachievement. Many minority
students are labeled disabled because schools cannot support them in ways that
help them succeed.
