AB  - Education – that is, the development of knowledge, skills, and values – is an important means by which to empower individuals in a society. As both a means towards and an outcome of  gaining the capabilities necessary to participate in and contribute to society, education is an  essential enabler in many social aspects, such as economic growth, poverty reduction, public  health, and sustainable development, especially in today’s knowledge society. At the same  time, however, education can still be a social institution that reflects and reproduces the social,  cultural, and economic disadvantages that prevail in the rest of society (Bourdieu & Passeron,  1990). For example, students who are discriminated against socio-culturally  or who are economically  poor are more likely to receive an education that is characterized by inadequate infrastructure,  few qualified teachers and encouraging peers, and outmoded pedagogical practices,  which often results in a lower quality of life.
