the social issue i choose

Social issues found in education

One of the social issues in education is classroom racism. While racism is still present in other aspects of society, it is becoming increasingly common in the education system. Some biased peers have prejudice towards their classmates of minority backgrounds. Teachers who are putting minimal effort in children from diverse communities contribute to the growth of racism in the classrooms.

Another social issue is unequal opportunity. Unequal education opportunities for individuals from ethnic backgrounds form part of the education sector’s social problem. Bias in the employment of teachers who are colored or from an ethnic minority background is a social issue concern in the United States.
