        abstract = {This research investigates the relationship between socio-economic status (SES), parental involvement and access to technology on mathematical learning outcomes among secondary school students in Pune and Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra. The study examines four schools under the M.C.E. Society, analyzing data from 425 students participating in the "Math Yes We Can" program. The findings reveal significant disparities in educational resources and outcomes, highlighting the critical need for targeted interventions to promote educational equity},
