No discrimination refers to the principle that students should not be treated unfairly or excluded because of characteristics such as disability, race, sex, religion, gender identity, or other protected grounds. In education systems, this principle means that students must be able to access learning opportunities without facing barriers linked to these characteristics. In British Columbia, protections against discrimination in schools are established under the British Columbia Human Rights Code, which requires institutions to prevent discrimination and accommodate disability-related needs to the point of undue hardship.
