THE ORIGINS OF EQUITY
What is “equity” in education?
“Equity in schooling means ensuring that differences in educational outcomes are not
the result of differences in wealth, income, power or possessions.”
- Review of Funding for Schooling (2011)
“Equity in education has two dimensions: Equity as inclusion means ensuring that all students reach at least a basic minimum level of skills. Equity as fairness implies that personal or socio-economic circumstances, such as gender, ethnic origin or family background are not obstacles to educational success.”
- OECD (2011)
“Equity in education is the means to achieving equality. It intends to provide the best opportunities for all students to achieve their full potential and act to address instances of disadvantage which restrict educational achievement.”
- UNESCO (2015)

Equity vs. quality of academic outcomes
