The impact of socioeconomic status on access to quality science education is significant. Research shows that students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds tend to have better access to resources such as well-equipped science labs, updated textbooks, and experienced teachers, which can enhance their learning outcomes in science education. On the other hand, students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may face challenges such as limited access to science facilities, outdated or insufficient materials, and fewer enrichment opportunities, leading to disparities in science education achievement. Closing this gap in access to quality science education is crucial for promoting equity and ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed in this field.
