Achievement segregation refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and recognition based on factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other forms of discrimination. This can result in certain individuals or groups being systematically disadvantaged and prevented from achieving their full potential. It is important to address achievement segregation in order to promote fairness, equality, and diversity in various aspects of society.
