Equality of opportunity in education 2011, para. 61
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Affirmative action and promotional measures are highly important for addressing the educational needs of those living in poverty. Such measures may be suitable in cases of long-standing or historical and persisting forms of discrimination. The systemic exclusion of specific groups from higher levels of education can also be addressed through the adoption of temporary special measures. These might range from the establishment of enrolment quotas to the offer of financial incentives targeted to particularly vulnerable groups.
