This definition now includes all groups that have a disadvantage in society (religious, ethnic and cultural minorities, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, girls, low-income families, people with disabilities, AIDS patients, etc.) The aim is to include these kinds of students in the normal education process, regardless of their differences.
