    The 15th Achievement Gaps Symposium
    Sponsored by: Co-convened by CDF and the Educational Testing Service (ETS)
    Today, 15.5 million children in America live in poverty. Nearly one in four children under the age of five are poor; and over 40 percent of these children are Black. At nine months of age, poor Black children are already behind their higher-income peers in cognitive development; the gap is even wider at 24 months. By kindergarten, poor Black children have to beat the odds to catch up — and as various tests reveal, many never do.
