EQUITY over EQUALITY
EQUITY over EQUALITY
The Issue
People are more likely to support 'equality' rather than 'equity'. Equality is one of the key values of Liberalism. These days it is held as up as a rallying cry in all areas of life: Gender Equality, Income Equality, Marriage Equality, and so on. And this is what we believe, it is a horrible mistake. Equality is not really something that is not worth-seeking, and it is not just enough. It is all about everybody that gets treated the same. What about those people who don't really need that treatment? What about those people who need that treatment more than the people who don't even need that treatment?
Equity in education, in its ideal sense, refers to the principle that all students are afforded equal educational opportunities. The term "Equity" is often confused with its cousin,"Equality",when speaking about education,especially for teenagers.Teenagers now experience to compare themselves with other students,just because of the inequality treatment that exist when it comes in achieving academic excellence. They tend to focus on those students who are skilled rather than students who are less skilled and needs more attention. This means that schools must provide Student A with the necessities for his educational needs, while Student B - who has different educational need - is equally provided for. If you are now in this situation, stand for the truth. Always remember that you have the right to talk. Go on, stand, and neve ever hesitate to express your opinion, to express what you need, and to express what you've got!
