This title examines the educational experiences of minority groups
in different international contexts, from the USA, Finland, Rwanda,
India, South Africa, Hungary, China and the UK. The contributors
explore the experience of learners from minority groups and the
education policy response of authorities, drawing on the
international research in the USA, Finland, Rwanda, India, South
Africa, Hungary, China and the UK. They explore the purpose of
education for minority groups and in particular the place of human,
social and identity capital in policy and practice. Each chapter
contains a summary of the key points and issues within each chapter
to enable easy navigation, key contemporary questions to encourage
active engagement with the material and an annotated list of
suggested further reading to support further exploration. This
series presents an authoritative, coherent and focused collection
of texts to introduce and promote the notion of education as a
humanitarian response as a prime function of educational activity.
The series takes a holistic interpretation of education, dealing
not only with formal schooling and other systemic provisions in the
mainstream, but rather with educational reality - teaching and
learning in whatever form it comes at any age.
Imagine meeting God. Yes, the One who spoke His word and everything
came into being: God! This is exactly what happened to a man named
Isaiah, a prophet who lived more than 2,600 years ago. Isaiah's
ministry was defined by a life-changing encounter with God, as
described in the sixth chapter of the Book of Isaiah. This
momentous event in Isaiah's life provides insights about
God-directed, authentic worship. There are sixty-six chapters in
the Book of Isaiah. The sixty chapters that follow this event are a
testament to the fact that Isaiah's life was given to God as an act
of worship. This event was one link in a long chain of Isaiah's
lifelong commitment to worshipping and serving God. God is asking
you and me to enter into the same worship experience that Isaiah
knew: approach God in worship, surrender ourselves, experience God,
and activate a living worship of God every day. God created worship
so that we can know Him and be in a relationship with Him.
Authentic worship is about being a person whose life every thought,
word, and action reflects and points to the ultimate "worth-ship"
of God. Isaiah discovered this truth in a most amazing way. In The
Isaiah Encounter, learn from Isaiah's experience about living an
everyday life of worship.
