The Southern Education Foundation (SEF) reported that the share\u00a0of current K-12 public schools students living in poverty is a majority. The Washington Post<\/i><\/a> in reporting this information stated that this was the first time in at least 50 years that the level is so high.<\/p>\n In its analysis, the SEF used enrollment in free and subsidized school meals as an indicator of the size of the student poverty population, and found that these students were concentrated in the South and Southwest of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n The coverage in the newspaper discussed at length the need to provide greater funding to improve the educational opportunity for low-income students and noted that the administration has called for both increased educational funding and the establishment of universal preschool for children in low-income families.<\/span><\/p>\n
