Explanation

John Dewey, an American philosopher has proposed the concept of 'progressive education' which emphasizes that learning takes place only through 'hands-on' approach so the students must interact with their environment to adapt and learn.

The above-mentioned term implies that all students should be provided with an education which is most appropriate to them and their future life at work.
The progressive education promotes 'learning by doing' to make children self-reliant and productive to use their knowledge, talents and skills to sustain themselves and to promote economic growth.
It emphasizes to enhance skills and understanding of the learners by engaging with the contents and experiences.
It ensures the active participation of students by working in a group and applying practical knowledge to complete an activity.
Hence, it could be concluded that in the context of progressive education, the term ‘equal educational opportunity’ implies that all students should be provided with an education which is most appropriate to them and their future life at work.
