Ways to Promote Equality and Diversity in Education

An effective education system should embrace diversity and equality to accommodate differences and equal access to education opportunities. According to The University of Edinburgh (2016), diversity refers to recognizing, respecting, tolerating, and appreciating people regardless of differences in religion, culture, gender, size, and disability whereas equality ensures that such groups are treated equally and fairly. Access to educational resources and opportunities should embrace equality and diversity through inclusion, multiculturalism, and appreciating of individual differences. As such, a variety of ways of promoting equality and diversity should be used to improve the access and quality of education by accepting differences among people.
