1 Provide access to quality education

One of the most effective ways to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students is to ensure that they have access to quality education that meets their needs and interests. This means providing them with adequate infrastructure, materials, technology, and curriculum that are relevant, engaging, and challenging. It also means supporting their enrollment, attendance, and completion of school, especially for girls, minorities, and refugees who may face additional barriers. You can help by advocating for more funding, resources, and policies that support quality education for all, or by donating to organizations that work to improve access and equity in education.

Financial support is always appreciated, but it takes more than just a check to help many kids in need. They require basic necessities such as food and clothing. When you are hungry or cold, it becomes difficult to focus on learning. These kids need exposure to the world beyond just cell phones. I believe that creating access to anything can help and encourage their development. Whether it's a bank branch or fresh produce, exposing them to what's possible can be a life-changing experience. Knowledge is power, and leveraging your network to help others can have a more significant impact than just writing a check. It creates opportunities for the children to grow and learn.

2 Offer mentoring and tutoring

Another way to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students is to offer them mentoring and tutoring opportunities that can enhance their academic skills, confidence, and motivation. Mentoring and tutoring can provide students with personalized guidance, feedback, and encouragement that can help them overcome learning difficulties, set goals, and plan for their future. They can also expose students to positive role models, networks, and career paths that can inspire them to pursue higher education and professional development. You can help by volunteering as a mentor or tutor for a local school, organization, or online platform that matches you with students who need your support.

Understanding a student's academic skills, knowledge, environment, exposure, etc., is crucial to determining the appropriate mentorship or tutelage. Time is a valuable commodity and if you can share that in a productive way, you will add tremendous value to a person in need.

3 Create a safe and supportive environment

A third way to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students is to create a safe and supportive environment for them, both in and out of school. A safe and supportive environment can foster a sense of belonging, respect, and trust among students, teachers, and families. It can also address the social and emotional needs of students who may experience trauma, stress, or isolation due to their circumstances. A safe and supportive environment can include implementing anti-bullying, anti-discrimination, and anti-violence policies and practices, providing counseling and mental health services, and creating spaces and activities that promote diversity, inclusion, and collaboration. You can help by creating a positive and welcoming culture in your classroom, school, or community, or by supporting programs and initiatives that promote safety and well-being for disadvantaged students.

4 Engage parents and families

A fourth way to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students is to engage parents and families in their education. Parents and families play a crucial role in influencing their children's attitudes, behaviors, and aspirations towards learning. They can also provide emotional, financial, and practical support for their children's education. However, some parents and families may face challenges or barriers that prevent them from being fully involved or informed about their children's education. These may include language, cultural, or socioeconomic differences, lack of time or resources, or low levels of education themselves. You can help by reaching out to parents and families, communicating with them regularly and respectfully, inviting them to participate in school events and activities, and providing them with information and resources that can help them support their children's education.

TOP TIP - I cannot stress enough the importance of involving parents, teachers, families, and friends in the learning process. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to participate in an online summer camp program that taught basic financial skills. During the first session, a family member of one of the campers joined in and we quickly realized the benefits of involving others. We invited parents and friends to join us, and the attendance multiplied exponentially. We were able to share practical examples that were universally relatable through common experiences.

5 Encourage student voice and agency

A fifth way to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students is to encourage their voice and agency in their education. Voice and agency refer to the ability and opportunity of students to express their opinions, preferences, and needs, and to influence the decisions and actions that affect their education. Voice and agency can empower students to take ownership of their learning, to advocate for their rights and interests, and to contribute to their communities and society. Voice and agency can also foster creativity, critical thinking, and leadership skills that can prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. You can help by listening to and respecting students' voices, involving them in co-designing and co-evaluating their learning experiences, and providing them with platforms and opportunities to share their ideas and actions with others.

In my opinion, social finance is a key variable in access to quality education for disadvantaged children. You need an education financing model that puts more disadvantaged children in schools whose education quality is improving but at the same time keeping the cost of such education affordable for the poor. This is a more sustainable model that drives education outcomes for the disadvantaged.

When you create exercises that encourage children to express their opinions, insights, and needs, you enable yourself to customize the learning experience to the audience. This is important because meeting them where they are helps to engage and motivate them. Additionally, you will learn things you could not imagine ?? and gain insights ?? that will make you a better advocate for them.

6 Collaborate with others

A sixth way to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students is to collaborate with others who share your vision and mission. Improving education for disadvantaged students is not a task that can be done by one person or one organization alone. It requires the collective effort and commitment of multiple stakeholders, including educators, parents, families, students, donors, policymakers, researchers, and civil society. By collaborating with others, you can leverage the strengths, resources, and expertise of different partners, learn from their experiences and best practices, and coordinate your actions and strategies to achieve greater impact and sustainability. You can help by joining or forming networks, coalitions, or alliances that work towards improving education for disadvantaged students, or by supporting existing ones that align with your goals and values.

Please consider getting involved, and if you cannot do so, please encourage others through networking or other means. I had a lot of doubts before taking my first class. ?? However, my wife, who is amazing with inner-city school children, encouraged me to sign up, and I am so glad that I did!
