To achieve success in life and achieve the lifestyle, acquisition of knowledge and proper education play an important role. When a person has a solid educational foundation, they have a high chance of succeeding and achieving their goal. However, in recent years there have been issues related to education, namely the racial gap among children in the United States. In the article "New Report Details Racial Gap Among America's Children," author David Crary, AP National Writer, mentions the gap between one racial group and another. He mentions how each race differs in terms of academic achievement and test scores. The author describes the urgent need to close the racial gap by pointing to various statistical findings and information on how to promote ways to close the racial gap. Therefore, the Department of Education should close the racial gap in school because this gap is caused by poverty, poor quality educator, lack of school funding, and lack of student determination in learning. To know the reason for the racial gap in education, we need to know what the racial gap is. Racial gap occurs when the entity is racial groups such as White Americans, Black Americans, American Indians, Asians, and Latinos, and the researcher takes statistical results to find the disparity of their educational measure between each student's ability to succeed academically. Inevitably, Crary includes the Annie E.
