Sažetak
The article explores this efficiency and equity trade-off in education. While efficiency generally relates to how well an economy allocates scarce resources to meet the needs and wants of consumers, equity concerns the distribution of resources and is inevitably linked with concepts of fairness and social justice. The goal is to identify those circumstances under which equity and efficiency may not trade-off against each other. Economic, political and socio-cultural inequalities fuel differences in life chances, perpetuating them across generations. At least in theory, education is a means by which democracies attempt to equalize opportunities among citizens for economic success. Education and training policies could have a significant positive impact on economic and social outcomes, including sustainable development and social cohesion. It is commonly thought that opportunity equalization, in that dimension, is implemented by the provision of equal access to public resources to all citizens. However, very often this is not so and often existing public services - like education systems - reproduce or even compound existing inequities. Each society must decide the relative weight it ascribes to each of the principles of equity and to the efficient expansion of total production and socioeconomic development.
