The Learning Action Buffet’s mission is to support youth in creating a sustainable and healthy community through the arts, communication and action. The LAB accomplishes this by integrating meaningful hands-on learning with real-world problem-solving. The LAB has initiated the Creating Equity in Education project to support the Southern New Mexico Equity Forum. As stated in the newly released Education Context Report from the NMSU Center for Community Analysis In Doña Ana County, Hispanic or Latino persons are twice as likely as white non-Hispanics to lack access to the internet or a computer.
This is just one example of many inequities present in our school system today. Infusing equity into the fabric of the New Mexico educational system will take a concerted effort among all stakeholders, as well as greater awareness about what equity in education looks like and how to achieve it.
