What can we do to minimize education gap?

Since several studies have proven that achievement gap in education is solely related to children’s background, at first, it seemed to me that addressing both socio-economic disparity and individualization of education are crucial to solving this issue. However, I noticed that the first option might be chicken-and-egg issue because we learned that the best way to close social and economic inequality should be education. If we have to solve the social and economic inequality in order to provide ideal education, this will result it an endless cycle. Therefore, I would suggest focusing on providing a variety of educational opportunities in accordance with each student’s background. In this way, students with relatively poor educational background will also be able to receive education that is not too advanced for them and improve their academic skills step by step.
