title: Paulo Freire and the Value of Equality in Education
abstract: This article seeks to elucidate the philosophical sense of equality affirmed by Paulo Freire as a condition of a liberating education, for which "accepting and respecting difference" is another of its conditions. More specifically, it analyzes his statement that "nobody is superior to anyone else" (FREIRE, 2017, p. 119) in its logical, epistemological, educational and political dimensions. This analysis is developed in five sections. In the first section, a detailed and conceptual examination of the afore mentioned phrase is proposed. In the second section, the paper considers the implications of this examination for an educational life inspired by Freirean thought; it specifically studies the sense of equality in the pedagogical relationship, that is, between teachers and learners. In the next section, it introduces the ideas of another advocate of equality in education, the French author Joseph Jacotot, in the early nineteenth century. In the fourth section, it compares Jacotot's ideas with those of Paulo Freire, highlighting commonalities and differences, both in their lives and in their educational thoughts. Finally, it draws some conclusions about the value of equality in education, inspired by the reading of these authors, in particular with regard to the place of knowledge and thinking in an emancipatory education.

There is anessential need to make serious efforts by government, not for profit organizations and other localbodies to augment the pace of development in education of the women of Jammu and Kashmir.

title: Does Trade Openness Advances Gender Equality in Education: A Case of D8 Countries
abstract: The present study intends to examine the impact of trade openness on gender equality in education in D8 group which consists of Bangladesh, Egypt Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, and during the time period of 1980 to 2012. Panel data estimation with Random Effect Model tested through the feasible generalized least squares method, which allows the estimation in presence of Heteroscadasticity and Autocorrelation problems. The results for our main model which consists of trade openness and gender equality in education, show that trade openness is highly significant in posing the positive effect on the level of gender equality in education. The findings show that coefficients of trade openness is significant at 1 in each equation with accurate positive sign for ratio of female to male enrolment at primary secondary and tertiary level. These results hold true and consistent with earlier work and theories. Based upon the empirical analysis it can be concluded that trade liberalization policies are beneficial for the women in developing 8 countries. The overall conclusion drawn from study show that economic sector has most influential impact on social sector especially in case of developing countries.

title: Equality in Education and Employment for Sustainable Development of Diverse Indonesia: Enhancing Equal Opportunity, Volunteerism, and Philanthropy
abstract: While Indonesia prides it self on its diverse population, diversity can also create disparity in educational access and success among students, generating gaps of participation among people of different economic, gender, and geographical backgrounds. Studies show that inequality can lead to tension, instability and conflicts, impeding the achievement of SDGs. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of inequality in Indonesian education and employment opportunities and to suggest additional ways of constructing equality. For this purpose, this study will provide an analysis that relies on statistics, surveys, and reports on education and employment inequality in three constructs: class (rich vs. poor) which is related to geographical areas (urban vs. rural) as well gender (male vs. female) This paper describes the challenges in these three areas, reviews efforts and policies for equality, and suggests transparency and accountability as well as the promotion of volunteerism and philanthropy for the success of Indonesia's sustainable development.

title: Opportunity for All: A Framework for Quality and Equality in Education
abstract: As in the case of outcome accountability, CI focuses on the application of data to identify where things are not working and particularly where they are not working for traditionally underserved students. For example, the reporting of student outcomes disaggregated by historically significant subgroups has been a main contribution of Title I legislation since 1994. Indeed, in our earlier work on standards based reform, we assumed that an outcomes based approach to accountability would in fact engender continuous improvement. We were wrong. We now see at least four fundamental differences that distinguish a CI approach from an accountability based approach.

abstract: Sexual violence is considered a serious problem due to its keep increasing cases. Schools play very important role in preventing sexual violence by providing educational services based on gender equality through school management standard. This study evaluates the implementation of management standard of gender responsive school and the challenges to preventing sexual violence. Four senior high schools in Sragen Regency Indonesia were selected. The quantitative data were collected from a survey to 198 respondents comprising principals, teachers and students. The qualitative data were obtained from focus group discussions. The quantitative data were analyzed using percentage, whilst the qualitative data were analyzed using interactive model analysis of Miles and Huberman. The findings show that the majority of the respondents (96.5% stated that school management standard had been gender responsive. Nevertheless, the schools did not have sufficient facilities and infrastructures which could prevent sexual violence. The challenges to preventing sexual violence are the schools' willingness to build critical awareness of all students, teachers, employees and parents by formulating their vision, mission and strategy based on gender equality values, developing the principles of conduct and integrating sexual violence issue into the schools' academic and non academic activities.

title: Equality in Education: Solutions Aimed at Closing the Achievement Gap in Mississippi Public Schools
abstract: This thesis attempts to examine solutions aimed at closing the achievement gap in Mississippi public schools. The research questions that are addressed in this thesis include: a) Why is the achievement gap part of policy debates in Mississippi and how have individ ual school districts and policymakers responded to the gap? b) How is the gap measured and what are the trends since 2001 when the No Child Left Behind Act was adopted? c) How are achievement gap debates reflected in the current policy? d) Have any of the past national education policies been effective in decreasing the achievement gap? The methods used include a quantitative analysis of NAEP data in order to construct a series of time series graphs as well as a series of interviews with policymakers and school district offi cials in Mississippi in order to write a policy proposal for the state. The research found that while national education policies have had a positive impact on racial achievement gaps, no policy has worked to close the socioeconomic achievement gap.
