Equity of access Sample Clauses

Equity of access. Potential obstacles in admission procedures identified during the interviews were mostly similar with the problems of underrepresentation. After revealing the most common topical areas, I decided to group these issues into two sub-sections: rural students and students from low-socio economic status families.

Another potential barrier mentioned by Principal 6 is related to test administration procedures. A city, where the exams are usually conducted, may be located so far from villages that not every rural child will have the opportunity to travel there to take the test.
