Educational poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that profoundly affects both individual and collective development, extending beyond the mere lack of formal education. It encompasses limited access to cultural, social, and material resources necessary for comprehensive and effective learning. If left unaddressed, this issue can perpetuate an intergenerational cycle of poverty and reduce individuals' economic and social opportunities. To combat educational poverty, it is crucial to implement strategies that ensure both universal access to education and improvements in its quality. Initiatives such as early childhood education programs, the integration of educational services with other social services, and the use of digital resources can provide effective solutions, provided they are supported by adequate pedagogical guidance and policies promoting equitable access. Active community involvement and the implementation of targeted public policies are essential to addressing this phenomenon systematically. Fighting educational poverty is not only a matter of social justice but also a necessary condition for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, particularly the right to quality education for all.

Abstract
Educational poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that profoundly affects both individual and collective development, extending beyond the mere lack of formal education. It encompasses limited access to cultural, social, and material resources necessary for comprehensive and effective learning. If left unaddressed, this issue can perpetuate an intergenerational cycle of poverty and reduce individuals' economic and social opportunities. To combat educational poverty, it is crucial to implement strategies that ensure both universal access to education and improvements in its quality. Initiatives such as early childhood education programs, the integration of educational services with other social services, and the use of digital resources can provide effective solutions, provided they are supported by adequate pedagogical guidance and policies promoting equitable access. Active community involvement and the implementation of targeted public policies are essential to addressing this phenomenon systematically. Fighting educational poverty is not only a matter of social justice but also a necessary condition for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, particularly the right to quality education for all.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
