Equity refers to the distribution of income, wealth, position and
power in society. Public policies define the conditions and rules of interpersonal
competition and are therefore an important determinant of that distribution.
Policies in the education sector are particularly relevant for equity because they affect
access to schooling and subsequently to jobs and income. In education investment, equity
is concerned with whether the cost and benefits are equally distributed among regions,
males and females, and in different socio-economic and ethnic groups whether they have
fair or equal access to educational facilities. In this sense therefore, equity is a concept
closely bound up with the notion of fairness and is also fixed up with the notion of justice. In addition, it refers to distribution or sharing of resources among individuals or
society. There are usually three complementary types of analysis for assessing equity in
education;
1. Those that evaluate differences in access to specific levels or types of education
2. Those that compare the distribution of benefits among people with different
education.
3. Those that assess the payments for and who benefits from education.
