Discrimination and Equality in Education

Discrimination in education occurs when students are treated unfairly based on characteristics like race, gender, disability, or socioeconomic status, impacting their learning opportunities. Equality in education means ensuring that all students have the same rights and access to resources, support, and opportunities, regardless of their background. Education laws, such as Title IX and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), are designed to protect students from discrimination and promote a fair learning environment, helping to ensure that every child can reach their full potential.
