Abstract

This paper delves into the UK primary school pupils' initial perceptions of global educational inequality. It aims to assess their comprehension of 'education,' 'inequality,' and 'educational inequality,' and to determine their ability to identify educational resources, which are key to addressing the unfair distribution of educational opportunities highlighted by Banzragch et al. (2019). The study seeks to uncover the pupils' awareness of these concepts, which is crucial for understanding their views on educational disparities.
