ABSTRACT
It is the learners' right to get an education free from discrimination. Discrimination
in education ranges from gender to race, age, social class, financial status, and
other characteristics. In this study the focus is on discrimination in education in
regard to social class and financial status. The paper describes observations of the
school building layout and corresponding activities and behaviours in language
education classes.
The researcher observed 10 English language classes from different districts during
10 years from 2004through 2014 and took notes on the activities and behaviours
provided in the classroom to identify whetherthere was any correspondence with

INTRODUCTION
Discrimination is education is still a real thing even in today’s time where most people don’t h
same bigoted views that were typical over 50 years ago. The most prevalent reason for discr
n education is due to racial disparities. Many of these discriminations are a result of past discr
against a group of a people that seems to affect their children. The most important time for c
cognitive abilities and for behavioral development is during the preschool years. The amount
that a child has before they enter preschool depends mostly on the child’s parents. Througho
I have discovered the time before a child even enters school can have a huge impact on the
achievements for perhaps the rest of their life. Studies show that children who start of presch
in school readiness usually fall farther back while those that start with an advantage usually p
In my interview, I learned about the issues faced by underprivileged children in disadvantaged
where learning can be difficult. The past discriminations in race have led to a disparity in eco
which have further put children at a disadvantage.
Three conditions must usually be present in order for a student to learn.

First they must be have the opportunity to learn in the form of books, a teacher,
or even the internet. The second condition is effort on the part of the student in regards to
time devoted to learning and the level of focus on learning. The last condition is prior skills a

BODY
Education is the most important right a child can get in his or her
lifetime, either it is formal or informal education. According to the
Cambridge dictionary, education is the process of teaching and learning
or organizations such as schools where this process happens. Education
is categorized into two types, formal and informal. This is because
education is notonly provided in a physical place but in society as a
whole which can be interpreted in everyday life. According to
OpenStax,education around the world, “Formal education describes the
learning of academic facts and concepts through a formal curriculum.”
while “informal education describes learning about cultural values,
norms, and expected behaviors by participating in society.” (OpenStax).
According to functionalist theorist Talcott Parsons, education performs
the function of ‘secondary socialization.’ The school provides individuals
with appropriate ideas on how to live and contribute to society. The
school is a vital source of socialization. (Mustapha 2002) The conflict
perspective, on the other hand, views the education system as a means
of transmitting
ruling-class values and ideologies. (Mustapha), and most importantly
• Plan international defines gender discrimination as
• “the situation in which people are treated differently simply because they are male or female, rather than
on the basis of their
• Individual skills or capabilities.” Gender discrimination may be viewed as a deterrent in most cases in the
Caribbean, that is,
• “making someone less likely to do something by making it difficult for them to do it or by making them
realize that it will have
• bad results.” (Cambridge Dictionary) Because most women are subjected to gender discrimination,
stereotyping and assumption
• are one of the few reasons there is an inequality. As more females are enrolled in schools, they are
introduced to the marked gender
• differences in secondary and tertiary schools, ultimately leading them to acquire the lower paying jobs in
the labor market.
• Stereotyping and assumptions are one of the main reasons why girls are not encouraged to achieve
greatness at an early age.
• What is stereotyping? According to a Saul Mcleod in context to M. Cardwell, it is “…a fixed, over-
generalized belief about a
• particular group or class of people.” (Cardwell, 1996). In the case of young girls, at an early age, they are
being thought that girls would
• study to be a nurse and boys the doctor. Because as a society, they tend to categorize careers to gender
girls are not encouraged to pursue
• their studies from a young age. The interactionist perspective gives an insight into “the manner in which
pupils’ self-concepts are shaped
• where pupils are labeled to
• roles and are expected to fulfill that labeled role. Linking this
theory to the present date for example in the science field of
studies like physics, girls
• are not so encouraged to take up the challenge and study this
field because it is considered more masculine. Despite the
idea of girls being discouraged to
• take on the route of careers in the masculine nature, there
are some people that argue that girls would do well in the
nursing field because women are more
• compassionate in times of tragedy or despair. To some extent,
it justifies the encouragement to stick to female studies and
careers. As plan international quoted
• “These attitudes limit girls’ power by rendering them less able
to help contribute to making the world around them a better
place.”
CAUSE AND EFFECTS OF
DISCRIMINATION
• There are many forms of discrimination, besides the more familiar forms like race and gender,
based on ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age , disability or handicap, and sexual harassment.
The mentioned characterization refers to a situation of the direct discrimination, in which a person
is treated adversely directly on the basis of a prohibited ground. Indirect discrimination, refers to a
situation in which an apparently neutral provision or practice is discriminatory in its effects. Besides
direct and indirect discrimination, we may use the term institutional discrimination. Institutional
discrimination refers to the practices or procedures in a company or an institution, or even the
society as a whole, which are structured in a way that tends to produce discriminatory effects, for
example in the Apartheid regime in South Africa.
• As to the root cause, discrimination appears to be no clear acceptance of any theory of causation
but that discrimination often causes a chain reaction of disadvantages. For instance, it should be
noted that there is a connection also between discrimination and social distance, given that it is
usually psychologically easier to discriminate against people that one is not familiar with.
• Although there is no wide agreement as to the “cause” of discrimination, there is a consensus that they
constitute a learned behavior. The internalization of discrimination starts with parents and, later,
teachers–the groups primary in the formation of attitudes within children. The media and social
institutions solidify discriminatory attitudes, giving them social legitimacy, since discrimination is
learned. At best, one can reduce discrimination. Society looks most often to education and legislation to
alleviate discrimination–for reasons still not clearly known, intergroup contact alone is not enough to
reduce discrimination. On one hand, multicultural education, whether direct or indirect, constitute the
mainstay of educational efforts to eliminate discrimination. On the other hand, the emphasis on civil
rights, enlightened immigration policies, and mandates for quota hiring are the cornerstone of legal
approaches to alleviating the effects of discrimination. The most overlooked area in resolving the
problems of discrimination lies in the web of close relationships where genuine feelings of love can be
fostered and strengthened.
• Discrimination produces immense effects in the psychological, social, political, and economic domains.
Whether intended or not, the effects are compounded by the loss of self-worth, a sense of alienation
from the wider society, political disempowerment, and economic inequalities. Prejudice and ethnic
hostilities constitute a major danger to peace both within a nation and among nations.” As a
consequence, the emergence of a new global moral order increasingly provides a leverage point to
counter the effects of prejudice and discrimination. While many agree that the various international
instruments to protect people against prejudice and discrimination are still not universally followed or
even implemented, it is clear that a new international consciousness is indeed emerging and is, in fact,
intensifying.
• The effects of discrimination in society are reflecting on race,
religion, and disable discrimination. One of the main reasons
cause violence is race discrimination. It is easy to find evidence
from Hollywood movies. The black people always fight with white
people because they were discriminated. Now in Australia, the
aborigines are discriminated. Many people do not understand their
culture, so the Australian looks down on these people. In addition
religion discrimination can endanger the world peace. Different
religion has different god and the numbers of believers are huge.
Once the conflict between different religions break out, which can
easily cause a world war. Discrimination is about exclusion an d
subordination and it effectively conveys an explicit message of
differentness and inferiority of the victim – Humiliation.
CONCLUSION
Discrimination runs against the most fundamental values of a modern society.
In fact, it is a threat to democracy, which is predicated on the idea of a society
in which arbitrary hierarchies and preferences based on, for example gender,
ethnic origin, and wealth have been eliminated with a view to achieving
equality. Democracy recognizes worth and equal rights of all whereby, equality
prohibits discrimination which is also the cornerstone of human rights.
Discrimination not only forms a menace to the society, but also to the
individual who is subjected to such an adverse treatment as it is a direct denial
of the equal worth of the victim. It is a violation of a person’s identity. The
consequences of discrimination match the severity of the offence, a causal link
to alienation, exclusion, radicalization and decreasing psychological well-
being.
Therefore, discrimination is wrong because it is selfish. Discrimination

throughout the world today occurs to many extremes. From one extreme to
another, it is in any way wrong. Discrimination is happening all over the world,
today for many reasons. One being because parents have taught their children
to believe and think the way they do. The only thing we can do about it is to
raise our children to not discriminate against others. It could lead to more
tension and fighting within people and groups. To sum up, the discrimination
