赛事背景

2023 赛事主题

Education Inequality is Opportunity Inequality

Education Gap is the root of inequality.

Educational inequality is the unequal distribution of academic resources, including but not limited to; school funding, qualified and experienced teachers, books, and technologies, to socially excluded communities. These communities tend to be historically disadvantaged and oppressed. Socio-economically disadvantaged students are the demographic that disproportionately faces roadblocks to succeeding academically. It is understood that, “compared to more privileged students, underrepresented students experience disparities in social capital and social support that contribute to academic achievement gaps” (Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology). “School failure penalises a child for life. The student who leaves school without completing upper secondary education or without the relevant skills has fewer life prospects” (OECD).This year, we invite young people from all over the world to discuss Education Inequality, think about how we can change people’s ideas through actions. We hope to convey a message to everyone:Education Inequality is Opportunity Inequality.

教育差距是不平等的根源。 教育不平等是学术资源的不平等分配,包括但不限于;为社会排斥的社区提供学校资金、合格且经验丰富的教师、书籍和技术。这些社区往往在历史上处于不利地位和受压迫。社会经济弱势学生是在学业上不成比例地面临障碍的人群。据了解,“与更多特权学生相比,代表性不足的学生在社会资本和社会支持方面存在差异,导致学业成绩差距”(应用发展心理学杂志)。“学业失败会让孩子终生受罚。没有完成高中教育或没有相关技能就离开学校的学生的生活前景较差”(经合组织)。 这次我们邀请世界各地的年轻人一起讨论教育不平等问题,思考如何通过行动改变人们的观念。我们希望向大家传达一个信息:教育不平等就是机会不平等。我们必须立即行动。

Education Inequality is Opportunity Inequality. 教育不平等即未来机会不平等。We must act now.我们必须立刻行动。
