Abstract
Background and Aim: Educational equity is fundamental to societal development and social justice. This study aims to explore the impact of resource allocation strategies on educational equity, focusing on how different strategies can either enhance or hinder equitable access to quality education.
Materials and Methods: The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative case studies. Data were collected from various educational institutions across different socioeconomic regions.
Results: The analysis reveals significant disparities in resource allocation across different regions, which correlate with educational outcomes. Strategic interventions aimed at equitable resource distribution show promising results in improving educational equity.
Conclusion: Resource allocation strategies play a crucial role in achieving educational equity. Policymakers must consider a multifaceted approach that includes targeted resource distribution, community involvement, and continuous monitoring to ensure equitable access to quality education.
