Reconceptualizing Inclusive Education as a Social Justice Imperative
Abstract
Inclusive education has increasingly taken the shape of one of the dominant pedagogical approaches though a major requirement of a social justice premised on human rights, equity and dignity. This chapter reinvents the idea of inclusive education as a concept of social justice, and the ways education systems may move beyond extremely narrow models of integration, to the radical forms of addressing the persistent inequalities. The chapter employs critical theories of inclusion, intersectionality and equity to explain the determination by policy, pedagogy and institutional structures that determine access, participation and belonging of different learners. It highlights the role of teachers, the systems of governance and society in the achievement of inclusive and equity-based learning. The chapter highlights the need of structural change putting the inclusive education within the perspective of moral and social responsibility where it will take some structural change in the long run to bring meaningful inclusion among all learners.
