What is the achievement gap?

This is a very popular concept that people talk about

and it's talked about a lot when watching the news.

The achievement gap relates to the differences

that people experience in education.

This can relate to the differences in education because

of people's races, because of people's genders,

you hear a lot about it too with people's households and towns.

For example, you hear about the differences in education

in richer wealthier towns vs. more low income towns.

So this relates to how kids achieve and how

well they do in school, on their tests, etc.

So many different factors can affect the achievement gap.
