Rather than framing inclusive education as a fix for marginalisation, this book positions it as a civilisational necessity, one that enables human flourishing amidst ever increasing global fragmentation. Through diverse and compelling global perspectives, it invites readers to reconceive education as a shared endeavour rooted in justice, adaptability, and relational belonging. A must read for all inclusionistas! Daniel Sobel, Founder and President of the World Inclusion Congress, Chair of the International Forums of Inclusion Practitioners (IFIP)
This book brings together a powerful and diverse group of global leaders committed to inclusive education. It is not just a resource; it is a catalyst for change. Debra Ruh, CEO of Ruh Global IMPACT, Co-Founder of Billion Strong, Life For Relief and Development Partner
This is a book about optimism. It argues that when education systems embrace and build on diversity, an opportunity mindset can emerge, with Education for All again within our reach. Robert Prouty, Former Head of Global Partnership for Education
This edited book brings together researchers, partners, Ministry staff, disability activists, teachers, and influential commentators to present a constructive dialogue around the opportunities associated with inclusive and equitable education. Contributors from the Global North and South draw on their own lived experiences of education systems to argue for transformative and meaningful change within them. By contextualising educational issues within the wider push for sustainable development, inclusive and equitable education is presented as not only an ethical necessity, but as a practical way to benefit every learner, to build more accepting societies, and to tackle key global challenges.
