Educational equity, also known as equity in education, is a measure of equity in education.[1]
Educational equity depends on two main factors. The first is distributive justice, which implies that factors specific to one's personal conditions should not interfere with the potential of academic success. The second factor is inclusion, which refers to a comprehensive standard that applies to everyone in a certain education system. These two factors are closely related and depend on each other for an educational system's success.[2]
Educational equity's growing importance is based on the premise that an person's level of education directly correlates with their quality of life[2] and that an academic system that practices educational equity is thus a strong foundation for a fair and thriving society. But inequity in education is hard to avoid because of inequities in socioeconomic standing, race, gender, and disability. Educational equity also operates in a historical context.[3] History can shape outcomes in education systems.[4]
The study of education equity is often linked with the study of excellence and equity.
