Achievement inequality has been on the rise. Globally, students from disadvantaged backgrounds perform worse academically than their peers, even with equal ability. This represents a significant loss of potential and perpetuates inequality. We organized this interdisciplinary Special Collection to uncover experiences that contribute to achievement inequality, identify interventions that reduce it, and sketch a research agenda. We hope it inspires scholars committed to addressing social problems through basic research.
成就不平等现象一直在加剧。在全球范围内，来自弱势背景的学生在学业上的表现比同龄人差，即使他们能力相当。这意味着巨大的潜力损失，并使不平等现象长期存在。我们组织了这个跨学科专题文集，以揭示导致成就不平等的经历，确定减少这种不平等的干预措施，并勾勒出一个研究议程。我们希望它能激励致力于通过基础研究解决社会问题的学者。
