What is educational equity and how does it differ from educational equality?

Educational equity strives to provide opportunity for all students to pursue higher education despite their social/cultural/institutional/systematic disparities. On the other hand, educational equality is when all students are given the same exact resources to pursue higher education not taking into consideration their social/cultural/institutional/systematic factors which may impact their ability to succeed in their pursuit for higher education.
