Type: article
Abstract: Inequality in education is still an ongoing problem across the world and is most likely to affect certain populace. This review reveals what prevents the achievement of education quality for these groups and demands a social justice approach to this injustice. This article reveals the complexity of educational inequality by analyzing the interconnections between socioeconomic, geographical, cultural, linguistic, and technological factors. It also evaluates policy and institutional constraints and requirements including disparities in resource distribution and governance vacua that perpetuate exclusion. The implication of educational inequalities and disparities in access to quality education is that it keeps other social systems and processes going particularly social injustice and the non-development of citizenship. To this end, this review outlines measures to address such inequalities such as; changes in policies, grassroots movements, and technology solutions for addressing the digital divide. In addition, the article endorses social justice as the paradigm for educational change with an emphasis on education as a right. This paper contends that effective practices such as empowering pedagogies and teachers’ preparation for social justice are the key to sustainability changes. This review aims to present a synthesis of the literature on the obstacles to education in disadvantaged societies and to offer specific suggestions to those who seek to reform the educational system and bring it into conformity with the principles of social justice. The study calls on society to open the doors for people and let everyone study without restrictions and let everyone become successful.
