socioeconomic status
Definition
- Socioeconomic status (SES) is a concept that is understood and utilized well beyond the scope of African American education; however, given the sociopolitical context of American history, SES has a unique and distinct relationship with the progress and position of African Americans in education. This entry describes and illustrates the connections between SES and African American education in four sections: defining and describing SES, the historical context of SES and African American education, the status of African American education and SES, and summary of SES and African American education.
