Liz WillenDear reader,
 
At a time when the coronavirus and the upcoming election are dominating the news cycle, The Hechinger Report continues to shine a light on the inequality that permeates education. This week, we look at the unequal opportunities available to students in career and technical education (CTE). A Hechinger Report/Associated Press analysis of CTE enrollment data from 40 states found that Black and Latino students are often less likely than their white peers to enroll in science, technology, engineering and math and information technology classes.
 
Such disparities can narrow young people’s career paths, as can antiquated approaches to teaching chemistry and other science topics and middle school math classes that separate students by perceived ability. We’ll continue to tell these stories, and, as always, look forward to hearing yours.

Students who counted on work-study jobs now struggle to pay their bills 

Pandemic precautions, remote learning leave many students with less income to pay for college.
 

PROOF POINTS: COVID has been bad for college enrollment — but awful for community college students 

Loss of college students greater than the population of Baltimore.
 

What kids stand to lose if 2020 steals kindergarten 

Substituting online kindergarten for the critical first year of formal education will have consequences for decades. Kids living in poverty will be hurt the most.
 

Student seeks to create the ‘Netflix of online learning’ 

A high school student makes a list of learning tools after wondering why it wasn’t already happening.
