This primer will define essential terms in education, explain why it is critical to focus on gaps in opportunity rather than gaps in achievement, and explain how these opportunity gaps have harmed students. The following sections also introduce some of the important components and aims of a high-quality education that ERI will explore in greater depth in forthcoming reports and highlight one of the promising pathways to help close these gaps.
