Education, in this 21st century, is broadly re-imagined in terms of its role in building human capital and productivity. Equity in education enhances social unity and trust. It makes the society fairer and helps avoid the large social costs of marginalised adults with few basic skills. The “National New Education Policy 2020” aims to make education more inclusive, equitable, and accessible to all, with a special emphasis on marginalized communities. It emphasizes the development of skills for the 21st century, such as life skills, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, establishment of new institutions, such as digital universities, as well as the use of technology to support students in learning. Teachers, whether trainees (pre-service) or in-service, have a greater responsibility of ascertaining equity in education. A research study was conducted to find out the perception of pre-service and in-service teachers about equity in education. The study reveals that there lies significant difference in the perception of pre-service and in-service teachers about equity in education.
