Disability Poverty and Education

<p>This book is a succinct and distinctive presentation of current research addressing educational issues in relation to children and young people with disabilities in Southern contexts. Even though people with disabilities are disproportionately over-represented in the majority world there is a lack of texts which bring together empirical insights highlighting the unique socio-economic and cultural realities of these contexts and the ways in which these have shaped developments in education. This book provides a comprehensive and critical overview of a range of issues such as the dilemmas in conceptual translations analysis of international aid and national policies evaluation of various educational interventions and issues interrogating the purpose of education. </p><p>Bringing together various research projects conducted in eight different countries this book successfully captures a unique spread of cross-cultural issues. It was originally published as a special issue of the <em>International Journal of Inclusive Education</em>.</p>
