Question ONE ( 3 – ANSWERS PROVIDED)
In today's society, the pursuit of equality and inclusivity has become a paramount goal, particularly
within the realm of education. However, when it comes to the treatment of individuals with disabilities in
higher education, the notion of treating everyone the same overlooks the fundamental principle of
equity. In light of Text A, which highlights the challenges faced by students with disabilities in
transitioning to college, it is imperative to acknowledge that people with disabilities should not be
treated the same as those without disabilities. Instead, they deserve tailored support to ensure equal
access to educational opportunities and foster an inclusive learning environment. This essay will
explore three key arguments supporting this stance, drawing upon legal frameworks and principles of
inclusivity...
Question TWO ( 3 – ANSWERS PROVIDED)
Youth homelessness is a pressing social issue that affects individuals worldwide. Defined as the state
of lacking a stable and secure place to live, youth homelessness encompasses a range of challenges
and complexities that have profound impacts on young people's lives. In this essay, we will explore the
causes and effects of youth homelessness, drawing upon scholarly research and empirical evidence to
shed light on this critical issue...
, Question ONE
Text A
Students with disabilities have not been fully welcomed in higher education in spite of litigation, court
cases, and positive shifts in public perceptions. The transition from high school to college is challenging
for students without disabilities. Students with disabilities often get overlooked by their institution and
overwhelmed during this transition, contributing to an achievement gap for these students.

Question TWO.
Text B
A study by Skobba, Moorman, Meyers, White and Tiller (2023) argues that research that focuses on
college students with foster care or youth homelessness experience is limited, but the available studies
suggest that housing precarity is a challenge (Kinarsky, 2017; Strayhorn, 2021).
The extent of housing problems among young adults who experienced foster care or homelessness is
not well understood and is likely underestimated (Fowler et al., 2009; Gupton, 2017; Strayhorn, 2021).
While there is a growing recognition of and support for the needs of students who have experienced
foster care or homelessness, limited resources often mean that students are left to fend for themselves
(Crutchfield et al., 2020; Huang et al., 2018; Klitzman, 2018). Adapted: Skobba, K., Moorman, D.,
