ABSTRACT

Schools play a critical role in promoting educational equity for all students, including those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Establishing equity in education is a global challenge and will be achieved when children and young people’s participation and performance in education is not reliant on or impacted by their socioeconomic background. The purpose of this policy is to outline the strategies schools can implement to promote educational equity for socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and it applies to school leadership and teaching staff.
