Education plays important role during everybody’s childhood time. Inequality issues were major sources of making people feel unhappiness. We always can find some inequality of education in our daily life. So I want to do the research of it.
My management dilemma is: There are so many inequalities of education achievement happened in our life.
Exploratory questions:
· Does inequalities of education is a widespread problem?
· What kind of key potential factors will affect the inequalities of education? Does teacher’s training and school resources will affect the inequalities of education?
I find a PhD dissertation named “School Resources And Student Achievement: Evidence From Social And Natural Experiments”, from the PhD student at the department of Economics and business Economics at Aarhus University, which is published on 2016. This dissertation gathers the data from more than 30 different size school districts or smaller unites. Based on those data they try to find the relationship between the effects of qualifications of teachers, the school size teacher gender and student-to-teacher ratios, with student achievement. How those factors affect the student achievement. There are three chapters in this dissertation. Chapter 1—“The Effect Of Teacher’s Aides In The Classroom: Evidence From A Randomized Trial” is focus on the relationship between education resource such as qualifications of teachers and student achievement. This is the main chapter I want to use as my background information in my research. It provides us the data the gathered from the 105 schools, which schools are randomly allocated to treatment, and more than 5200 students. They different group student by using two kinds of teacher’s aides: ones with the teaching degree and ones without. They track students’ outcome—eighth grade test scores. They find the positive correlation on students’ test scores and parents’ level of education. The result shows that teacher’s aides teaching degree can reduce the student achievement gap by one third that initially exists between students with different education level of parents.

Management question is: What will cause the inequality of education across countries?
Rese (Andersen, Beuchert, Nielsen, & Thomsen, 2016)arch question is:
· How the family background effects on education inequalities?
· Does the opportunities to learn in childhood will effect on education inequalities, such as teacher training and experience?
· How the intensity of schooling influences the education
