Other things that are important to pay attention to regarding learning are reality, equality, equity, and liberation. Reality means that there are many people who need it, but those who are higher in age, position and so on are more favored.
Meanwhile, equality means equally. Next, there is equity which means fairness or giving more to people who need it. And liberation means freedom. "We need reality and equality, but equity is better, therefore in the education system in schools all teachers can provide equal and fair portions to students," he said.< /p>
