Socioeconomic inequality can have a significant impact on educational outcomes in science. Students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may have limited access to resources such as quality science education, materials, and extracurricular activities, which can hinder their academic performance and interest in science. Additionally, socioeconomic inequality can lead to disparities in the quality of schools and teachers, further widening the achievement gap in science education. Furthermore, students from disadvantaged backgrounds may face challenges such as lack of parental support, inadequate study environments, and financial constraints, all of which can impact their success in science education. Addressing socioeconomic inequality through policy interventions, increased funding for schools in underserved communities, and providing support services for students can help mitigate these disparities and improve educational outcomes in science.
