The intersectionality of race and class must be considered in educational policy from "summary" of Race, Class, and Education by Kenneth J. Meier,Joseph Stewart,Robert E. England
The relationship between race and class in educational policy cannot be ignored. When policymakers develop and implement education policies, they must take into account how race and class intersect and affect students' experiences. Race and class are intertwined factors that influence educational opportunities and outcomes. Students from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds face unique challenges that impact their educational success. For example, minority students from low-income families may lack access to resources that are essential for academic achievement. Educational policies that do not account for the intersectionality of race and class can perpetuate inequality. For instance, standardized testing measures may disadvantage students from marginalized communities who may not have access to test preparation resources. This can widen the achievement gap between different racial and socioeconomic groups. In order to address these disparities, policymakers must consider how race and class intersect in shaping students' educational experiences. They must develop policies that aim to level the playing field and provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their background. This may involve implementing targeted interventions to support students who face multiple forms of disadvantage. By taking a holistic approach to educational policy that considers the intersectionality of race and class, policymakers can work towards creating a more equitable education system. This approach acknowledges the complex ways in which race and class impact students' lives and aims to address these inequalities through targeted and inclusive policy interventions.
