This chapter explores the intricate relationship between emotions, spirituality, and anti-discriminatory education within the context of higher education in the South East of Nigeria. The study examines the systemic issues that hinder equitable access to education for the youth of South East region, focusing on the pervasive tribalism that impacts their admission to post-secondary institutions. The paper provides insights and strategies for fostering inclusive and just educational environments. The paper used secondary data from both online publications and printed materials. The article identified the challenges confronting education and mostly higher education in Nigeria as insufficient funding, academic corruption, inadequate lecturers, insufficient infrastructure, an unstable academic calendar, insecurity, brain drain, poor leadership, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, limited research capacity, and poor staff development. However, in Nigeria, tribalism remains a significant barrier to achieving this right for individuals from the South East. Discriminatory practices in the admissions process of Nigerian universities require South East students to attain higher scores than their peers from other regions, perpetuating educational inequalities. Institutional and financial challenges, often exacerbated by corrupt governance, compound this systemic bias, undermining the coherence and execution of inclusive education initiatives. The paper calls for a fair educational system where all individuals have equitable opportunities and proposes that the government tackle the challenges. The paper, by examining the emotional and spiritual dimensions of anti-discriminatory education, provides a holistic understanding of the barriers faced by South Eastern students. It underscores the need for systemic change to create an inclusive educational environment that nurtures the potential of all students, irrespective of their tribal or regional backgrounds. In a region historically oppressed and discriminated against, the right to inclusive education is critical for both individual and societal development. It advocates for the Nigerian government to implement vigorous laws and policies that guarantee admission rights without prejudice based on tribe or region.
