Educational Quality
Educational quality can mean different things. Usually, it’s about being able to read and write. But it can also mean that school helps students get ready for life in a way that matters to them.[] A good education gives students the tools to make a difference and reach their goals.[] High school education works best in stopping violence when it includes students taking part in their communities.[] It’s hard to figure out how good an education is because different people think of it in different ways. Some look at how much money is spent on each student, as having enough resources is part of what makes a good education. Others look at whether students are well-prepared for further education, jobs, or other parts
of adult life.
