Abstract

This chapter explores the role of Inclusive (IE) in bolstering equality and equity for all in higher education (HE). It begins by defining the concepts of IE, equality, and equity, and their implications for society. Five dimensions of equality in education are discussed and related to equality in HE. The chapter links IE to equality and equity as an integral part of IE in HE. While the intention of IE is widely acknowledged, the unintended consequences of exclusionary mechanisms are highlighted, along with strategies for mitigating them in HE. The chapter also discusses the meaningful, effective curricula and the assessment methods that enhance equality and equity in HE. Finally, the chapter concludes by highlighting the challenges of fostering the operationalisation equality and equity in HE.
