Abstract: Learning Styles are preferential ways in which students absorb, retain, process and comprehend information; more often than not, resulting in curated educational content. The research and discourse around these topics, most specifically in regards to access continue to be underdeveloped. Primarily, this paper seeks to find links between student achievement, learning style preferences and curated content. The study of learning styles is important to develop teaching methods and curriculum, but are often factors not taken into consideration in underserved communities, resulting in a uniform teaching style has been found to exclude students with learning styles that are incompatible with that particular teaching style. Teachers and curriculum-developers need to cater to students with different learning styles, especially if they belong to economically backward communities and regions, by modifying their methods of instruction and teaching in innovative and cost-effective manners. This paper aims to provide policy recommendations that seek to improve teaching methods and strategies to facilitate longterm learning and holistic education for all children.
