This edited book is uniquely set in the context of Chinese
societies. It deals with the issues of inclusive education in a
Chinese context and examines inclusion from the experience of Hong
Kong schools. Like other countries, in Hong Kong, inclusive
education has been promoted through Integrated Education (IE) and
the Whole-School Approach (WSA). Recently, the government has
introduced the induction of Special Educational Needs Coordinator
(SENCO) in each Hong Kong school to help diverse students,
especially students with special educational needs (SEN) and to
develop inclusive teaching and learning practices. This book is one
of the first to examine the influence of contextual and Chinese
cultural factors in the field of inclusive education, in regard to
how schools support students with diverse learning needs and SEN.
It also offers an account of context-specific measures towards
promoting inclusive education. This book will help scholars and
school practitioners in Asia in particular and in the West, in
general, develop a comprehensive understanding of context-specific
inclusive practices in education for students with diverse learning
needs.
In Minority Students in East Asia: Government Policies, School
Practices and Teacher Responses authors discuss their research on
minority students' schooling (elementary to higher education) in
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Minority
students' educational issues are often neglected in literature and
in practice; social and educational conditions that have resulted
from globalization - in particular issues pertaining to minority
groups' education, language and other human rights - receive little
attention. In addition, many areas of East Asia have viewed
themselves as single-ethnicity countries and have not articulated
strong agendas around minority rights. The purpose of this book is
to highlight key educational issues for specific minority
populations in East Asia. Themes addressed include government
policies related to minorities; equity issues in the education of
minorities; school practices and teacher perspectives on
minorities; identity construction in terms of language and culture;
national versus ethnic identity; teacher education issues; and
parental concerns. The authors also discuss new theoretical
orientations to understanding minority educational issues. A
particular strength of this book is the use of multicultural
education theories to both articulate concerns related to the
education of minority students and to provide solutions to these
concerns.
