Abstract
The principle of equal opportunities in education aims to eliminate the social and economic privileges that young people face in acquiring their social status and roles. In this way, everyone, regardless of their social and economic status, will have the opportunity to take their place in society according to their wishes and abilities, and to fully realize their personalities and aspirations. Education, besides being a fundamental right, plays a crucial role in reducing societal inequalities, preventing detrimental factors, and fostering economic and human development. Education represents an enduring benefit for all of humanity, underscoring the importance of preventing factors that lead to disparities in educational access. This study aims to assess the significance of inclusion in higher education and equal educational opportunities in the context of sustainability. It will also evaluate factors related to economics, social dynamics, regional disparities, biology, and management that contribute to inequality of opportunity.
