Intolerance towards others' Culture
This includes intolerance towards racism. A majority of a particular cultural group in a community shapes the expected standards. Intolerance towards the other minor cultural groups in the same community will impact those students. This is because the teachers are intolerant towards the other students and believe that they do not deserve the same level of Education as the others.

This presents an important opportunity for India to address a key barrier to fulfilling its goal of education for all: discrimination.

"Discrimination against children from... in government schools means millions of the poorest and most vulnerable are getting left out. Lack of effective monitoring mechanisms to check prejudice by school staff means, at worst, ill-treatment and, at best, neglect. This, despite India’s Right to Education law banning discrimination in schools."
"This school’s needs are completely different from other schools. . . . If you go to a predominantly white neighbourhood and the schools there, the students there have resources at home, they have support at home, they are not going through trauma."
- Edison, Teacher
