What we do

The Issue:

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schooling is a “generational catastrophe.” Before the pandemic, progress was already slow and insufficient to achieve the education targets. School closures caused by the pandemic have had devastating consequences for children’s learning and well-being.

 

The spring 2021 STAAR results showed that only 43% of all students met grade level in reading, and 35% met grade level in math. The most vulnerable students and those unable to access supplemental learning are at increased risk of never returning to school and not attending post-secondary education.

Unfinished learning through the pandemic exacerbates historical inequities, especially for Latinx and Black students.

​
 

Parents reported increases in mental health conditions and concerning behaviors in their children.

​

​

​

Absenteeism among students in eighth through 12th grade increased significantly during the pandemic.

​

​

​

The economic gap caused by pandemic-related unfinished learning adds to existing racial achievement gaps in the United States.

​

The solution

Unique approach

EDUCATION UNBOUND'S UNIQUE APPROACH STARTS BY ASKING THE GREATER QUESTIONS:
"WHAT PROBLEMS DO YOU WANT TO SOLVE IN THE WORLD?" SOLVING THE GREATER CHALLENGE GIVES YOUNG PEOPLE PURPOSE AND ENGAGEMENT TO ALTER THEIR DESTINIES.

THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR OUR STUDENTS AS WE REACH THOSE NOT CURRENTLY WELL-SERVED IN OUR EDUCATION SYSTEMS. YOUNG PEOPLE WANT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS BEYOND THEIR SCHOOL WALLS.

how can you help?

Education Unbound cultivates meaningful partnerships with organizations and individuals who believe that every child has equal education rights for a flourishing future.
