Equality of opportunity in education 2011, para. 17
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- A recent progress review of the Millennium Development Goals by UNICEF focuses on the question of equity. The importance of equity in education should be recognized not only as regards the goals of universalizing basic education, but also with respect to “access to higher education for members of some special target groups, such as indigenous peoples, cultural and linguistic minorities, disadvantaged groups, peoples living under occupation and those who suffer from disabilities.” While equity in education is a worthy goal in itself, equity-enhancing policies and practices, particularly education as investment in human capital, can, in the long run, boost economic growth and help reduce poverty.
