Educational Inequality Among Marginalized Groups: Barriers and Solutions
Abstract: Every individual in the society has equal right to education. However, some countries are lacking in ensuring quality education and equal opportunity to every individual. Marginalized sections of society usually face deprivation in matters related to accessing their rights. Marginalized sections of society, including people with disabilities, indigenous communities, and other disadvantaged groups, are often excluded and deprived of their right to education. At times they are considered as inferior and weaker. Ensuring equal access to quality education remains a persistent challenge for marginalized communities. This review examines the key barriers to education faced by marginalized groups in India, including economic constraints, social discrimination, and policy limitations. Using secondary data sources, the study highlights the adverse effects of systemic exclusion and proposes targeted interventions such as curriculum redesign, active government monitoring, and expanded educational infrastructure. The findings underscore the urgent need for equitable policies and inclusive practices to bridge educational disparities.
Keywords: Marginalized communities, educational inequality, social exclusion, policy interventions and inclusive education
