How we understand education quality is inextricably linked with
perspectives on social justice. Questions of inclusion, relevance
and democracy in education are increasingly contested, most
especially in the global South, and improving the quality of
education, particularly for the most disadvantaged, has become a
topic of fundamental concern for education policy makers,
practitioners and the international development community. The
reality experienced by many learners continues to be of
inadequately prepared and poorly motivated teachers, struggling to
deliver a rapidly changing curriculum without sufficient support,
and often using outmoded teaching methods in over-crowded or
dilapidated classrooms. Education Quality and Social Justice in the
South includes contributions from leading scholars in the field of
education and development. The text draws upon state of the art
evidence from the five year EdQual research programme, which
focuses upon raising achievement in low income countries, and
demonstrates how systems of high quality universal education can be
sustained. By exploring recent research initiatives to improve
education quality, the importance of supporting local policy
makers, educators and parents as agents of change, and students as
active inquirers is highlighted, and the challenge of taking
successful initiatives to scale is explained. The book is divided
into three main parts: -Framing Education Quality -Planning and
Policies for Quality -Implementing Quality in Schools Education
Quality and Social Justice in the South argues that implementing a
high quality of education using theories of social justice can
inform the understanding of inclusion, relevance and democracy in
education. The book should be essential reading for both students
and researchers within the fields of international and comparative
education, along with educational policy, poverty and development
studies.
