Normative action for quality education 2012, para. 83
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Quality education will remain elusive so long as education systems practise marginalization and exclusion. Bringing about de facto equality of opportunity in education necessitates an equity-based approach to education. Through education laws and policy, States need to give particular consideration to the educational needs of economically and socially marginalized groups, such as those living in poverty, ethnic and linguistic minorities, children with disabilities and indigenous children. In this regard, Human Rights Council resolution 17/3 urges States to give full effect to the right to education by ensuring adequate legal protection and addressing multiple forms of inequality and discrimination in education through comprehensive policies. An example of an inclusive approach is provided by Spain’s Organic Education Law (2006), which centers around the fundamental principle of quality of education for all students, combined with equity and equal opportunities.
