ABSTRACT

In a world bedevilled by social disparity in class status, economic sabotage, rising level of inequality, Social Justice and equity in education is the answer. The phrase “social justice” has become more mainstream in recent times, but it has existed for hundreds of yearsSocial Justice in education is about equitable distribution of resources and also fairly treating all students equitably so that they feel safe and secure both physically and psychologically within their learning environment. There is the need to rethink social justice and equity if the quest for global human harmony is to be attained Ensuring a comprehensive approach in quest of social Justice and equity entails creating and sustaining equal access and equal funding as well as equal opportunities for all. Until a visible and measurable effort is made in this direction, social justice and equity in education would continue to elude us. In the face of these, the teacher, the classroom, educational curriculum policy makers as well as researchers have pivotal roles to play in driving home the dream for the realization of a socially just and equitable society.
