Guidance Note
Equity and inclusion are key principles of USAID’s Education Policy. USAID believes that education systems must benefit all learners. Incorporating diverse knowledge and perspectives in the design, revision, and selection process for educational materials leads to more inclusive and better-quality education for all. USAID understands that extending services to reach the most marginalized often requires additional resources and specialized expertise, especially in crisis and conflict contexts.
The Guidance for Promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Educational Materials equips development workers to identify and create educational materials that promote equity and inclusion across the education continuum, from pre-primary through higher education, and within the populations they seek to serve.
