Inclusive education is a complex and problematic concept that
raises many questions. A team of prominent academics present fresh
and critical perspectives on these issues, drawing upon their
global resources and knowledge.
The over-arching theme of this book is that social, political,
economic and cultural contexts play a central role in determining
whether or not inclusive education is implemented in a range of
regions and countries around the world. A series of original and
provocative conclusions is presented, such as:
- inclusive education means creating a single system of
education, which serves all children
- inclusive education is a site of conflicting paradigms of
children with special needs, centering on a psycho-medical model
and a socio-political model
- while many countries seem committed to inclusive education in
their rhetoric, legislation and policies, in practice this often
falls short.
This major landmark resource is suitable for educational policy
makers, researchers, teacher educators, students and international
agencies with interests in education.
