Diversity is generally understood to encompass race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, and political and religious beliefs. And while in the past it has focused on strengthening inter-cultural tolerance, new ideas about diversity and inclusion have developed, shifting the focus towards enriching human learning and experience, so-called 'unity in diversity.'

When it comes to education, ' unity in diversity ' in the classroom doesn't seem a farfetched idea anymore for any globally minded teacher. This can be accomplished by either having technology that connects students with foreign knowledge and cultures or by having an international student body to make the learning environment multicultural and diverse.

Student Performance

Exploring differences enriches the learning experience. Studies have demonstrated that fostering diversity in the classroom has a huge impact on student performance. According to research conducted by Queens University of Charlotte, students achieve more, and work harder, in multicultural environments. Also, when lesson plans reflect the students and their varied backgrounds, they develop a deeper knowledge of a subject as they explore it from varying perspectives. This equips students with a broader understanding and opens their minds to deeper insights.

Creativity

Diverse study environments also drive creativity when interpreting and using knowledge, data and facts. Group activities with diverse group members helps create a positive atmosphere and group dynamic for creative and collaborative learning. Bringing diverse students together helps with critical thinking or problem-solving, especially when applied to real world business problems.

Combatting Prejudice

Studies have shown that having diverse classrooms help develop tolerance and a greater sense of security when in environments with other foreign cultures present. It also helps students learn about other languages and cultures, encouraging them to be interculturally sensitive.

Teaching Faculty

Diversity is as important among faculty as it is among students. Educational institutions are increasingly hiring teachers from a range of backgrounds. This helps students identify with teachers who then structure their lessons to reflect differences among students. Culturally relevant lesson-planning takes center stage, where a teacher not only highlights the importance of academic performance, but also cross-cultural understanding and competence as well as activism and political analysis.

Business Competence

Since the goal of many businesses is to grow and expand on an international scale, it has become essential to hire students with a global mindset. This means hiring students who are adaptable and open-minded, who speak more than one language, have experience dealing with different cultures or an understanding how other foreign markets operate.

The stages of educational development, from primary school to university, should prepare students for entering the workforce and experiencing an increasingly globalized work environment. It only makes sense that teaching embraces these realities that come with being part of diverse schools, communities and even countries.

At EU Business School we take the commitment to diversity very seriously and that is why we are proud to have been ranked as the worldwide education leader in diversity by QS Global MBA Rankings 2020, achieving 100/100 in the areas of international faculty, student nationalities and gender balance.

With a student body comprised on more than 100 nationalities and students speaking on average more than three languages, we are proud to be setting the benchmark for multicultural schooling environments globally and preparing our students for successful international business careers.

Malala Yousafzai, an educational rights activist, accomplished several achievements throughout her life. An example of her achievements are is being the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She had been awarded on October 2014, and delivered her Nobel Lecture speech on the same day.

What does Diversity Mean in Education? (Summary 1)

I think diversity means people getting respected even though they are different. I also think that equity can be a part of this too. The reason why is because when people are treated equally, they might not get the right needs that they deserve. However, if people are treated with equity, people can be treated equally with the right needs that they deserve. Diversity in education means the same thing. For example, in Malala's situation, she is treated disrespectfully because she was a woman, and had no power. However, Malala gained hope in herself and became an educational activist, which helped equal gender rights and diversity in education. Therefore, I believe that diversity means people are treated with equity and respect, even though they are different.

Malala is a 24-year-old girl who almost died fighting for equal education. when Malala was young, the Taliban came and took over Pakistan, putting a ban on girls going to school. Since Malala loved education, she believed that all girls should have equal educational rights. That is why she started Malala fund. "Malala Fund is working for a world where every girl can learn and lead." - Malala Yousafzai

Equal rights activism in education (Summary 2)

As you probably know, there is a lot of discrimination in our world. Age, gender, race, religion, and many other reasons. for instance, in Malala's time, the Taliban put a ban on girls going to school or receiving education. She couldn't go to school just because she was a girl. Malala was just one girl who stood up against this. Many brave people have stood up against discrimination, be it through marches or speeches, and that's what makes them Equal rights activists! When working and learning with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures present in the classroom, students gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. It also teaches students how to use their own strengths and points of view to contribute to a diverse working environment.

In life, there are times where we think just one, specific thing is just the best. However, in education, providing a wide variety of students all over the world can greatly impact the way students coorperate during school.

Diversity can be important in many different ways, such as, student performance, creativity, combatting prejudice, teaching faculty, and business competence. Firstly, studies show that exploring differences in each other "enriches the learning experience" for student performance. Secondly, studies also show that diverse study environments also drive creativity when using your brain, for creativity in students. Thirdly, studies also show that diverse classrooms help develop tolerance and a greater sense of security for combatting prejudice. Fourthly, not only is educational diversity important in students, it also is for the teaching faculty for teachers, who educate the students. Finally, educational diversity is also important to business. In the text, it says that "the goal of many businesses is to grow and expand on an international scale, and it has to be essential to hire students with a global mindset", which explains how business can tie into this concept. Therefore, diversity is important because of student performance, creativity, combatting prejudice, teaching faculty, and business competence.
