How do you define educational equity?

I define educational equity as the practice of ensuring all students, regardless of their background or circumstances, have access to educational opportunities, resources, and support that meet their individual needs. The needs of students are very diverse and systemic barriers have hindered many from receiving an equitable education. Educational equity provides support and resources to those who have faced obstacles or disadvantages. In short, it gives learners what they need to succeed and may differ by student.
