justice

Justice refers to the principle that people should be treated fairly and that harms should be addressed through accountability, repair, and equitable treatment. In education contexts, justice involves ensuring that students have meaningful access to learning, that discrimination and harm are taken seriously, and that systems respond appropriately when problems occur. Justice is not only about following rules but about ensuring that decisions and outcomes respect the dignity, rights, and well-being of those affected.
