A federal study of all public schools says that America's Black and Latino students have reduced chances of success.

一项针对所有公立学校的联邦研究表明,美国黑人和拉丁裔学生成功的几率有所降低。

The data came from the Civil Rights Data Collection, which is a survey by The U.S. Education Department.

这些数据来自美国教育部的《民权数据收集》。

It aims to examine measures of educational opportunity.

它的目的是检验教育机会的衡量标准。

The Associated Press reported on some of the findings.

美联社报道了一些调查结果。

The study said Black and Latino students were less likely to be in higher-level classes and to receive teaching from certified teachers.

该研究称,黑人和拉丁裔学生不太可能进入更高级别的班级,也不太可能接受有执业资格教师的教学。

The findings suggested effects that have a lasting influence on students' ability to learn and finish college.

研究结果表明,这些影响会对学生的学习能力和完成大学学业产生持久的影响。

The Education Department gathered data during the 2020-2021 school year.

美国教育部收集了2020-2021学年的数据。

That year most public schools were at least partially closed, and teaching took place online because of COVID-19 restrictions.

那一学年,由于新冠疫情限制措施,大多数公立学校至少部分停课,教学在网上进行。

Speaking about the survey results, U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said, "…access to educational opportunity in this country remains unequal."

美国教育部长米格尔·卡多纳在谈到调查结果时说:“在这个国家,获得教育的机会仍然不平等。”

The U.S. Supreme Court declared segregation in public schools unlawful nearly 70 years ago.

However, information in the federal survey said Black and Latino students were more likely to attend schools with lower percentages of certified teachers.

然而,联邦调查中的信息显示,黑人和拉丁裔学生更有可能就读执业资格教师占比较低的学校。

The data also suggested that Black and Latino students are more likely to be in schools that have security guards or police officers but no counselor.

数据还表明,黑人和拉丁裔学生更有可能就读于有保安或警察但没有辅导员的学校。

Cardona called this "appalling," because of rising rates of mental health difficulties for young people.

卡多纳称这是“令人震惊的”,因为有心理健康问题的年轻人的比例不断上升。

The new data also showed barriers to higher level, or advanced, classes.

新的数据还显示了进入更高水平班级的障碍。

Taking advanced classes improves a student's chances of going to college, studies suggest.

研究表明,进入高水平班级可以提高学生上大学的几率。

But Black and Latino students were far less likely to take such classes.

但黑人和拉丁裔学生进入高水平班级的几率要小得多。

Black students represented 15 percent of all high school students, but they made up just eight percent of students in Advanced Placement (AP) science and six percent in AP math.

黑人学生占所有高中生的15%,但他们上大学先修课程科学课的比例只有8%,上数学课程的比例只有6%。

Latino students represented 27 percent of all high school students but made up 20 percent in AP science and 19 percent in AP math classes.

拉丁裔学生占所有高中生的27%,但上大学先修课程科学课和数学课的学生分别占20%和19%。
