Can education promote human equality?
Yes, two thousand years ago, Confucius, a great educator in ancient China, also put forward the simple educational democratic thought of "teaching without discrimination".

The concept of educational equity has a long history, and the pursuit of educational equity is an ancient concept in human society. Historically, Plato, a great thinker in ancient Greece, first put forward the idea of educational equity, and Aristotle first put forward the idea of protecting the educational rights of free citizens through law. Two thousand years ago, Confucius, a great educator in ancient China, also put forward the simple educational democratic thought of "teaching without discrimination". The modern western bourgeoisie is committed to seeking educational equity. By the end of 18, the concept of educational equity has been transformed into legislative measures in some western countries, which legally confirmed that everyone has equal educational opportunities. The imperial examination system established in China since the ancient Sui Dynasty also embodies an idea of educational equity. In modern western society, there are three different views of educational equity in different periods, namely, conservative view of educational equity, free view of educational equity and radical view of educational equity. From 65438 to 0949, after the founding of New China, the "Common Program" defined the educational policy of "national, scientific and popular" new democracy, which reflected the basic value of the new China in attaching importance to social equity and educational equity.
