Abstract	Education can play an important role in making European societies fairer and more inclusive. To accomplish this, education systems must be equitable. In other words, they must ensure that all young people are able to develop their talents and achieve their full potential regardless of their background. However, socio-economic background continues to be a strong determinant of student attainment: underperformance, leaving education or training early, and social exclusion are still very real dangers for some students. The on-going COVID-19 crisis reinforces the case for improving equity in education as the shift to distance learning and the loss of teaching time bring increased challenges for disadvantaged students and are likely to compound existing inequalities. This report examines a range of key education policies and structures and assesses how they affect the levels of equity in education systems. In this report equity is addressed in terms of inclusiveness (i.e. whether all students receive at least a minimum amount of good quality education) and fairness (i.e. whether student performance is largely independent of socio-economic background). The report draws on three types of data: original policy information collected from the Eurydice national units, international survey data on student performance and characteristics (PISA, PIRLS and TIMSS), and statistical data collected by Eurostat. Using bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis methods, the report evaluates the impact of these system-level features on educational equity, individually and in combination. It covers 42 education systems across 37 European countries. (Orig.).
