The country's racial and ethnic demographics continue to change and now those changes have arrived in the classrooms. Coming this new school year, students of color will outnumber white students.

New statistics show that the student demographic is shifting, just like they are with the rest of the country. A report by The Associated Press explained how in the fall of the new school year there will be less non-Hispanic white students in public schools compared to the rest of minorities.

The numbers, obtained from the National Center for Education Statistics, show that non-Hispanics white will continue to be the largest racial group in the country with 48.9 percent, reports The Associated Press. However, when the numbers for the rest of the minorities in public schools are combined, they will the largest overall group.

"About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up an even smaller share of the minority student population," the news agency reported.

As a result, issues of inequality will become more apparent in the coming years. The Associated Press explained how diversity in schools can be both beneficial and detrimental to schools. Some schools have had issues with black and Hispanic students fighting, and others have seen parents choose to send their children to other schools instead of the more racially diverse ones.

Education inequality relates to racial and economic inequality, as most of the students facing inequality in schools are minorities from urban areas. The Root reported how even rappers highlight the issues of inequality in some of their songs.

They rap about schools closing in urban areas and how ineffective education can be. The Root added that Chicago closed 50 public schools.

President Obama announced that the My Brother's Keeper program started earlier in the year for black and Hispanic boys will be expanded, increasing 60 more school districts, according to The New York Times.
