INEQUITY IN DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES1
The Educational Resources refer to the accessible texts that are useful for the
purposes of learning and teaching and gaining knowledge. The educational resources are the
learning texts or the learning outcomes that fall in line with the syllabus that re set and
practiced at the schools and educational institutions. In the age of digitalization, the
educational resources have become open and free and easily accessible. There are learning
texts and books and other forms of educational tools that re available online. The educational
resources have now become open that they can get accessed online, from any and every
corner of the world (Butcher, 2015). This accessibility of the educational resources are
motivated by the educational paradigm that is endeavoured to reach knowledge and learning
to everyone, staying any part of the world. The teaching and learning materials have been
licensed and are getting released as intellectual property for the better and the educational
improvement of the public domain.
With the advancement of science and technology, the educational paradigm and the
concept of classroom have also got revolutionized. The classrooms got digital, and the
learning resources that are provided to the students are now accessible through the online
modes.
However, with changing facets and educational paradigm, there is observed an
increased inequality in the distribution of these educational resources. The major reasons for
this inequality, are marginalization, limited funding among the educational institutions, lack
of qualified and experienced teachers and the social exclusion. It is observed that the social
groups, which are socially excluded and socially disadvantaged, historically, are majorly
faced with such a situation (Allen, & Seaman. 2014). Also, the inequality in the social
mobility and in the economic mobility, also contribute towards this inequal and
disadvantageous position.
