Unfortunately, nearly 225,000 #BlackandLatinoStudents are missing out on #APCoursesthey should otherwise have access to while in high school. @edtrust teamed up with @equaloppschools to look specifically at access to #APSTEMcourses. They analyzed student survey data, administrative school files, school course enrollment, and interviewed 10 school leaders and educators across six districts. They found that Black and Latino students and students from low-income backgrounds are being denied access to AP STEM opportunities such as #APBiology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry, despite voicing interest in going to college and pursuing a career in a #STEMfield. In fact, the analysis shows that for many Black and Latino students, STEM courses are their favorite subject areas. 2 in 5 Black & Latino #students say #STEM courses are their favorite. But only 3% are enrolled in #APStem. Why are they being shut out? Thoughts? 🤔
