Besides enhancing the skills of reasoning and objectivity, it imparts a sense of empathy, speaks for human equality and inclusion for all.

It is often being misinterpreted as Equality in educational outcome which is certainly not the case. It’s time to promote and deliver quality and equitable education.This paper throws light on the meaning of equity in learning. It provides a conceptual framework of measuring the equity in learning and gives clarity on the outcomes of learning. There is a need to address the key challenges and issues around equity in education.Perfect equality is a far-fetched dream, but equity can ensure greater equality.
