This opinion editorial discusses the global problem of educational inequality and the unequal distribution of academic resources. The author highlights the primary obstacle on the road to quality education of children is the unequal distribution of academic resources, which include school funding, teaching staff, books, and technologies to socially ostracized communities, which are historically oppressed and disadvantaged. The author also discusses the rampant issue of gender-based discrimination and calls for action to ensure that every child has the opportunity and access to quality education.
