Education Equity: Building a Just and Inclusive Learning Ecosystem
https://shikshagraha.org/women
Education equity lies at the heart of a just and progressive society. It goes beyond the idea of providing the same resources to every learner; instead, it focuses on ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to the opportunities, support, and conditions they need to thrive. In a diverse and complex country like India, where social, economic, and geographic disparities deeply influence learning outcomes, education equity is not just an aspiration—it is an urgent necessity.
At its core, education equity recognises that learners start from different points. Factors such as poverty, gender, disability, language, caste, migration, and access to digital infrastructure significantly affect a child’s educational journey. Treating all students the same often perpetuates inequality because it ignores these structural disadvantages. Equity, therefore, demands intentional actions to remove barriers and create enabling environments where every learner can succeed.
