Education systems have a big impact on whether class and racial inequalities get better or worse. Here are some key areas where this happens:

1. Access to Resources: Schools in wealthy areas get around $13,000 for each student. But schools in poorer neighborhoods often get less than$8,000 per student. This difference makes it harder for some kids to get a good education.

2. Curriculum Representation: What students learn in school often reflects the experiences of the majority group. Many minority histories and viewpoints are left out. In fact, about 26% of high school students say they never learn about their own racial or ethnic backgrounds in class. This lack of representation is a problem.

3. Disciplinary Practices: There are big differences in how schools discipline students based on race. Black students get suspended three times more often than white students. This can hurt their education and increase dropout rates.

4. Tracking and Segregation: Some schools use tracking systems that sort students into different classes. Research shows that students from low-income families and minority backgrounds are more often placed in lower-level classes. This limits their future chances.

5. Impact of Higher Education: About 74% of white students graduate from four-year colleges. In contrast, only about 48% of Black students finish. This gap shows that there are larger problems in society that affect education and job opportunities later on.

In summary, the education system can keep inequalities alive unless we make real changes to support fairness and inclusiveness.
