Differentiation.

Diverse in character or content.

(The opposite of homogeneous.)


Heterogeneity should be managed to ensure cohesion - OECD
"Lifelong learning... involves individuals both young and old, with different experiences, motivations and attitudes...
It is therefore essential to diversify the content and provision of learning, to account for the inherently heterogeneous nature of learning and learners.


However, heterogeneity in learners’ profiles, learning objectives, socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes towards learning and learning goals should be managed so that it does not lead to a strong separation in learning pathways, with important risks to social cohesion and inclusiveness."
