Inclusion as a central tenet of higher education access and equity

[Extract] Education is a basic human right and a public good that takes on the serious need to create critical, informed, and engaged citizens (Henry A. Giroux in Apple et al. Citation2022). As such, education is one of the goals identified by the United Nations (Citation2015) in the Agenda for Sustainable Development. Despite the recognised importance of education in human development, there are many socioeconomic and political systems, structures, and global geopolitical events that continue to impact access to education as an essential human need, and its profound ability to improve opportunities in life (McMahon Citation2023).
