Abstract<\/span><\/p>

Differential educational attainment is a serious issue in the world that requires immediate action to save or rescue the situation. It is caused as a result of societal imbalance, inequalities, and structural factors that perpetuate socioeconomic disparities. In this paper, we will discuss the factors that may influence differential educational attainments, such as family issues, socioeconomic issues, political issues, and culture. We will also discuss the implications for achieving sustainable development goal four.<\/span><\/p>

Impact Statement<\/span><\/p>

Differential educational attainment is a serious issue in the world that requires immediate action to save the situation. It is caused as a result of societal imbalance, inequalities, and structural factors that perpetuate socioeconomic disparities. Factors that may influence differential educational attainments are family issues, socioeconomic issues, political issues, and culture, and the implications for achieving sustainable development goal four. Some major recommendations were made such as family members should be able to locate schools or educational institutions that are within their financial means, government should invest in the education of all citizens by effectively implementing 26% of the nation’s revenue budget into the educational sector. government should be able to implement some measures to control human activities, such as raising awareness of the impact of human activities on the environment, transforming the transportation system, afforestation\/regeneration of trees, and maintaining political pressure on the government, to name a few.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
