Traveller, Nomadic and Migrant Education presents international
accounts of approaches to educating mobile communities such as
circus and fairground people, herders, hunters, Roma and
Travellers. The chapters focus on three key dimensions of
educational change: the client group moving from school to school;
those schools having their demographics changed and seeking to
change the mobile learners; and these learners contributing to
fundamental change to the nature of schooling.
The book brings together decades of research into the challenges
and opportunities presented by mobile learners interacting with
educational systems predicated on fixed residence. It identifies
several obstacles to those learners receiving an equitable
education, including negative stereotypes and centuries-old
prejudice. Yet the book also explores a number of educational
innovations that bring mobility and schooling together, ranging
from specialised literacy programs and distance and online
education to mobile schools and specially trained teachers. These
innovations allow us to think differently about how education can
and should be, for mobile and non-mobile learners alike.
