Investigating the Relationship Between Education and Social Inclusion

<p>In India the policy of exclusion revolves around the social institutions which</p><p>is based on their identities for instance caste religion gender which isolate separate</p><p>and exclude them (Thorat & Kumar 2010). The social-economic structure of the</p><p>society maintains this tradition of discrimination and exclusion. Therefore thus</p><p>education can also not be seen at vacuum (Barten 1999).Education is also</p><p>manifestation of great Indian values of equity and cohesion. Education has the</p><p>potential to play a key role in combating inequalities exclusion and to lay the</p><p>groundwork for a more equitable and inclusive society. The challenges are to ensure</p><p>that educational systems are not only efficient but also inclusive. Inclusive means in</p><p>terms of equal opportunities to access quality education and individual identity with</p><p>their diverse backgrounds. Education system without appropriate measures to deal</p><p>with this challenge can reinforce social exclusion. The question arises in front of us</p><p>that what kind of educational measures process of</p><p>exclusion ? Due to the various steps taken at the policy level today education is</p><p>accessible to all but can we say that they are accepted with their variegated identities</p><p>to which they belong? Are they socially included in education system? Are there any</p><p>efforts made to accept their groups with their identities? In the proposed research</p><p>Education Policies would be studied in this content.</p>
