Discrimination in Indonesian higher education’s online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to identify the forms of discrimination that occurred in Indonesian universities during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyze their causes. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach to identify and analyze forms of discrimination in Indonesian universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were gathered through interviews with students, lecturers, and students’ parents, with special consideration given to their unique characteristics, situations, and culture. This study demonstrates how differences in student and parent groups and social classes shape their opportunities for online learning in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, social class differences impact discrimination in dealing with online learning. The existing structural differences play a significant role in understanding the discriminatory reality of online learning in Indonesian higher education.
