Chapter 2 dealt with the evolution of equity and quality issues in both education and mathematics education and came to the conclusion that equal access to quality education, which includes mathematics education, has become the focus of research and policy-making. Equity and quality are not only research issues which cut across different disciplines but are conceived as major determinants of socioeconomic and human development in both industrial and developing countries, as evidenced by the annual reports of the United Nations Development Program(UNDP).
