Types of Educational Inequality - JSON

Types of educational inequality categorize the unequal access to and outcomes of education based on economic, regional, gender, and academic factors. Based on OECD and UNESCO frameworks, major types include economic inequality, regional inequality, gender inequality, and academic achievement gaps. These disparities are interconnected and significantly impact children's future opportunities. Particularly, approximately 124 million children in low-income countries cannot attend school, and Japan faces challenges with the lowest level of educational investment among OECD member countries.
