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.
