Overarching principles of human rights which shore up a nearly
30-year history of international efforts to develop educational
systems that are responsive to the needs of all. Arguably the most
widely recognised international inclusive education policy, the
Salamanca Statement released in 1994 from the United Nations
Education, Science and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), recognised
that every child has a basic right to education. In so doing,
however, it drew a line around special needs as a particular
emphasis, in globalising efforts towards equal opportunity through
decrees for first principles of universally attainable privileges.
Considered a watershed moment in global responses to educational
exclusion, the Salamanca Statement was core to increasing awareness
among nations of the need for fostering more inclusive education
policy and practice. Nonetheless, the liberal ideologies that frame
human rights in inclusive education are seldom called into
question, despite perpetual marginalisation and disadvantage post
Salamanca. Inclusive Education Is a Right, Right? brings the many
together to consider educational democracy at a moment in global
history where the political order fractures populations, and the
displacement of socio-economic participation is displayed in every
news bulletin - true, fake or otherwise. Under these conditions,
the significance of academic activism, wherein diverse
perspectives, methodologies and theoretical approaches are put to
work to increase equity in education, has perhaps never been so
stark. Across the collection the combined chapters engage with
researchers, students, education professionals and leaders,
advocacy organisations, and people experiencing exclusion and
consider human rights in relation to inclusive education.
