Education vs Learning                           Discipline as a Source of Knowledge Education vs Indoctrination Economic influence on Equality of Educational Opportunity In simple words, concept of Equality is value; whereas, Equity refers to the strategies adopted to realize the value of equality. Taking the dictionary definition, “Equality is the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank or ability.                                And, “Equity is the quality of being fair or impartial.” Now, relating this to education, we find- Equality is when all children are treated in the same way without giving any importance to their need and requirements.
