opportunities for people to co-exist in harmony even
when they come from different ethnic, social and

equity, and it establishes the reality of philosophical
ideals in classroom environments.

to establish equitable educational opportunities for
all their students. It is also an ongoing process of
helping students succeed in their academic and
