Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have consistently shown that children from more affluent families have greater access to educational resources, such as private schools, tutors, and educational materials. This leads to a significant achievement gap between children from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Options A and B are incorrect as there has been significant progress in educational attainment globally, with more children attending school than ever before, and gender gaps in education have been decreasing in many parts of the world. Option C is partially correct, as gender gaps in education are greater in low-income countries and can be more pronounced at younger ages, but this is not a universal trend.
