2. Guide Questions:
1. What are the factors that affect
educational equity?
2. Describe how the education system
contributes equity.

3. Educational equity, also
referred to as "Equity in
education", is a measure
of achievement, fairness,
and opportunity in
education. The study of
education equity is often
linked with the study of
excellence and equity.

4.  fairness
inclusion

5. Is a term used in social policy,
sociology and political science to
describe the bods or “ glue” that bring
people together in society, particularly
in the context of cultural diversity.

7. The role of education become greater
as its wider social benefits gain
recognition.
Education policies can help bridge the
gap between other inequities such as
the urban rural divide, linguistic and
cultural divides.

8. More equitable access to educational
opportunities, therefore, can play a
role in reducing income inequities and
combating poverty.
There is now some evidence that
greater inequity leads to poorer
economic growth rates, while growth
rates are positively correlated with
greater equity.

9. Gender equity is also an important
social goal and is also one of the six
EFA goals which can be influenced
through education.
While education policies effects of
education, it is important to remember
that the education system does not
automatically contribute to greater
equity: it has to be designed to do so.

10.  There is considerable evidence to suggest
that educational performance at the primary
and secondary levels is heavily determined
by the socioeconomic status of student’s
parents.
 Educational performance at secondary level
is a key determinant of whether a student will
progress to the tertiary level.
 The income level of those who proceed to the
tertiary level are much higher than income
levels of those who do not.

11. In this way, existing socio-economic
inequities can be solidified or even
exacerbated by the way the education
system is organized.
To overcome this various circle,
requires careful educational planning
that gives due consideration to the
aspect of equity.
