Description:Family Action for Inclusion in Education celebrates the stories of family-based advocacy organisations which have helped to transform education systems in southern Africa, South Asia, Europe and Australia. Quotations from family and community members provide the reader with valuable insights into the activities, thoughts and feelings of parents involved in fighting for the inclusion of their disabled children.
In countries of the South the challenge of providing education for all children is not being met. Disabled children are among the most marginalised from education.
This guide has been written for family and community members who may feel isolated and want to form a support group, or advocacy organisation, to challenge exclusion. It will also be of interest to those committed to promoting more inclusive practices in education, such as teachers, teacher educators, policymakers and consumer organisations. |
