Socio-economic status significantly affects access to education, as lower-income families often face barriers like affordability, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of resources. Financial constraints can limit access to quality schools, particularly in urban and rural areas. Additionally, socio-economic factors influence parental awareness and priorities regarding education, sometimes leading to early dropout rates. Addressing disparities requires targeted initiatives and policies to facilitate equitable access to education, enabling children from all backgrounds to realize their potential and contribute positively to society.
