The problem identified as in need of further research is the correlation between poverty-stricken students and poor academic outcomes when provided with the same curriculum as higher-income students. The current research identifies that there is a gap in education between low-income students and higher-income students (Hughes, 2013). What is noticeably missing from current research is a solution to bridge the gap. It is clear that there is a problem in the area of student performance in lower-income schools; however, an intervention that corrects the issue is not noted and does not seem to be the focus of research. It is important to understand the factors that led to the gap and all the points connected to the problem; however, if we do not focus on how to correct the issue it will continue to get worse and lead to other problems within the field of education. There has to be something that can be put into place that will aid in correcting the equality issue among the different populations.
