Overview

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. This edition also includes an audio version of Chapter 1.
