Language-Based Discrimination in Education

Language-based discrimination in education occurs when students are treated unfairly because of their language or communication preferences. This can include bias against those who speak a different language, dialect, or have varying levels of proficiency in the language used in schools. Such discrimination can limit access to educational resources, affect self-esteem, and hinder academic success. It highlights the challenges of ensuring equality in education, as all students deserve a fair opportunity to learn and participate, regardless of their language background. Addressing this issue is crucial for fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment.
