Abstract
The United Nations sustainable development goals in education aim at
inclusive and quality education for all. To achieve this, Ghana has a Draft
Inclusive Education Policy which seeks to address the diverse learning needs
of all citizens. Furthermore, the 1992 constitution provides the legal basis
for the provision of higher education to be equally accessible to all. Equity in
education means making sure that equitable and quality education is
accessible to all students irrespective of their background. This paper based
on review of literature, sought to identify interventions implemented in
enhancing equity in tertiary education institutions, identify gaps which
remain and suggest strategies to close these equity gaps. The gaps include
enrolment by gender, disability issues and spatial disparity.
