I agree with what everyone else has said but it is also important to think about the socio - economic factors in the area. For example, are there good schools, high levels of employment, strong facilities for youths, that type of thing. In the end though, i agree that it does come down to money.

Are you asking about a high education like college or public schooling K-12 grade? By better do you mean how the student take in the information or how the information is presented to the student?
For higher educations, I feel many people are not informed on how to apply for college or how to get the financial aid they need. Many people might feel like college is not for them because their grades are not good enough.
Public schooling to me is not strict enough. To much responsibliy to put on the teachers when the parents are to blame. If a student does not receive positive influences at the home then he or she will not take school as serious as they should. Children should be watched at home by parents; parents should encourage and make sure that their children are doing their homework. Not matter what the age students should take school seriously. The higher in grade the more serious school should be.
As far as funding from state for school expencies, I believe education should be place at the top. Everything falls back on education. Less teenage pregnancies would occur if education was more important than a governor's paycheck. Lower high school drop outs if school was more important. Students and young adults focus more on their lifes and try not to make mistakes if they have goals and expectations.

I don't think that money should be used as an excuse. There are too many programs that offer financial assistance for one to say they can't continue their education. I think a lot of it is, for one, ignorance of such programs. A lot of people don't know that the government will fund higher education.
A second reason is lack of motivation. Our country has started a class war that is clearly put people into a world of economic slavery. In essence, if you're considered "poor" then it is drilled into you that you will always be, "poor". In that case, many individuals don't have the mind set to say, "I may be poor, but I still deserve an education."
Our communities need to stop the name calling and start reaching out to each other. Those that are knowledgeable of such education funding programs need to start reaching out to those who aren't. Our educators need to do the same. And people need to start asking questions. Sitting back and just excepting that the sky is falling, isn't reasonable.
So yes, in a way the grand excuse is money. Ultimately though, it is ignroance.

I think number one answer is spot on without going into a lengthy diatribe.
Money is a major issue in trying to attain a higher education than high school,,, but so is the desire to do that.
Certainly the systems in place make it difficult, but not impossible for those who want to "learn" more,,and hopefully use that education is some positive way.
It takes effort, discipline, commitment, patience, fortitude, and the thought that at some point, anything is worth learning, and learning should never stop.
BTW,,, We also learn, as we teach.

If this is for an essay, you can't just take people's opinions from the internet. The teacher wants you to research the factors affecting people's ability to continue their education or the barriers that they face in gaining an education. You need to use ProQuest, EBSCO Host or another journal article research program like that one.

For whites...it's the money...we don't have access like blacks and other self proclaimed minorities to foundations. The government ASSUMES that whites have more money...but what about those that have immigrated from poor European countries during WWII? I think it sucks that any particular group gets extra help with education just because of skin color.

Some people can't get a better education because of money and some can't get one because they are to lazy to do the work.

Money. I think all education should be free. It's common sense. i suggest researching the post-secondary education system in Ireland, and how it's effected it's booming economy:
