Social justice in education is the first concept that comes to mind when it comes to ensuring the sustainability of social development. At this point, national education systems are expected to prevent students’ demographic traits (e.g. native language, gender, migration background and the education/socioeconomic level of their family) from becoming an obstacle before their self-betterment and ideals. This session will facilitate a detailed discussion of the possibility of nations developing more inclusive and fair education policies and practices to minimize foreseeable impacts in the long run.
