Education
Access to high-quality, equitable education supports individual growth, societal development, and economic opportunity. Black male learners benefit when schools prioritize their social, emotional, and academic learning.
Education remains a critical focus for CSSBMB, as it shapes long-term opportunities and outcomes for Black men and boys. Unfair disciplinary actions—contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline—racial disparities in higher education, funding gaps for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and a lack of diversity among teachers are some of the challenges affecting Black male learners. CSSBMB works with partners to develop and implement research-driven approaches that address these challenges and expand opportunities for academic and personal success.
