We design survey studies in samples of the German population to examine how exposure to data on educational disparity influences public concern and policy choices. Support for equity-oriented education initiatives is high overall and rises significantly after receiving information on the level of educational inequality. In this research, we investigate the connections between government education policy, economic inequality, and educational inequality. We demonstrate that inequality in education (measured both at the quality and quantity levels) affects wages inequality by pairing inequality measures on test scores, years of schooling, and labor earnings by nation, birth cohorts, and gender. We next factor in the endogeneity of education levels and turn to instrumental estimating based on data on policy changes made by the government. Neither apathy nor an inability to recognize the link between policies and educational disparity accounts for the modest treatment effects. The only policy having a significant positive information treatment impact is mandatory preschool, and this benefit is amplified by sharing data on the success of the program.
