To enable learners to progress in a spirit of inclusion and openness to the world, it is important that the learning environment and learning and assessment experiences value human diversity. This includes the differences inherent in each individual, whether physical, personal, intellectual, linguistic, socioeconomic or cultural (e.g., cognitive skills, competencies, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ethnic identity, ancestry, heritage, values, beliefs, spirituality, health, family and geographical situation, language, socioeconomic context, cultural references, lifestyles).
This allows learners to develop their skills by opening up to others and learning from different ways of being and seeing the world.
