Research Question: In the past few decades college admissions and graduation rates have lessened dramatically among lower-income students. Overall (U.S.) education spending has been cut off quite severely in the last few years. Is the government itself is responsible for generating achievement gaps? This topic is up for debate but why there isn’t a solution to this issue? will low-income students and their families remain in the low-income bracket?
