Special Schools, Inclusion, and Justice discusses special school
provision in an education policy climate in which inclusion is the
dominant motif. In this context, the special school sector is an
anomaly and special schools inevitably occupy an uncertain and
somewhat invidious position. This situation raises a number of
questions concerning matters of justice and fairness with respect
to special schools and their communities. It also raises questions
about the validity of the view that only inclusion can represent
justice in education for disabled children and young people.
Special Schools, Inclusion, and Justice explores these matters from
a philosophical perspective that centres on the broader question of
what, in regard to where they go to school, might constitute a just
state of affairs in education provision for disabled children. The
New Zealand education context provides the case in point in the
book, but the matters it examines and the broader argument and
philosophical analysis that it pursues have a much wider
international significance and application given the pervasive and
dominant influence of inclusion in education policy across the
world. Special Schools, Inclusion, and Justice offers a new
perspective to international debates and conversations about
matters to do with inclusion, justice, and the education of
disabled children. It will be of particular interest to scholars
working in the field of education in areas such as inclusive and
special education, philosophy of education, sociology, and policy
studies.
