Lack of quality education, especially in areas of need and demand, remains a challenge due to various structural and systemic factors. The following are some of the challenges that need to be addressed in the institution; The institution lacks adequate funding. We see that schools in those areas are funded inadequately, which results in misplaced alarms, half-starved employees, sordid physical structures, and archaic apparatus. This has brought about this funding gap which in turns has further stretched the gap between the haves and have nots-or in this case-the haves educationally.
Another barrier is that there are not enough skilled teachers to provide quality education to Busara students. Most of the schools that fall under this category ask for old and experienced teachers due to low salaries, poor training provisions, and working under tough conditions. Thus, students are left with relatively less effective instruction and development, their academic growth, and success in the future.
A lack of access to technology, extracurricular activities and instructional programs, and specific academic assistance is another cause of educational disadvantage. The lack of own means for digital tools and stable connection to internet leads students to be in the defreeze in world, in which the most of information is learnt with assistance of technologies and most of communication is held through Internet channels. This means that minority populations are further cut off from more educational opportunities in the new era.
Education outcomes can be severely impacted by poverty, food insecurity and homelessness, all of which affect a child’s ability to concentrate at school. It is also apparent that when families are under pressure and have no stable income, education is not as important. Such circumstances cause the spiraling of poverty to see that poverty leads to poor living conditions which affords improper education thus exposing the young generation to the next in the same plight.
Lastly, Racism and implicit biases are still present in society. The lack of culturally responsive curriculum, discrimination in discipline, and low expectations for students of color lead to disengagement and underachievement. All these are demotivating factors and serve as a catalyst for perpetuating failure. These problems are structural and therefore require a battle against such systems for one to come up with sustainable, culturally appropriate solutions towards equity in education.
Conclusion
If education is to be delivered effectively and fairly, these barriers must be addressed with the seriousness they deserve. There is no way current investment in underserved schools, teacher development, culturally and linguistically diverse curricula, and accessible community services is optional. Learning should not be a preserve of those who have the necessary financial means, locale or any other social attributes. Every child should have the right to education and to grow and succeed as he or she desires without constraints posed by the systems of the society.
