A pipeline is a system or network of interconnected elements that facilitate the flow of resources, information, or materials from one place to another. In the context of education, a pipeline refers to a structured pathway or sequence of programs and initiatives designed to support and guide students from one level of education to the next, often with a focus on underrepresented or disadvantaged populations.
