However, for the marginalised— Dalits and tribals in India, the Mapuche in Chile, the Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand, as well as women in most parts of the world—basic education remains a challenge not only due to lack of access, but also because the pedagogy of mainstream education alienates the marginalised. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe editors and contributors of \u003cstrong\u003eSchool Education, Pluralism and Marginality\u003c\/strong\u003e argue that school education must be conceptualised keeping in mind the material, social, and life experiences of marginalised groups. They strongly argue that pluralism and social inclusion should be the core principles of the pedagogic conceptual framework, practices and processes of school education across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDivided into four sections, this volume brings together international perspectives on education from the USA, UK, Europe, South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, among others, with a focus on India. It probes into the realities of the formal schooling system and the hegemonies that exclude children of the marginalised communities. It also explores the relationships between school education, labour processes, and differential opportunities and their outcomes. Importantly, the contributions in this volume suggest measures for developing inclusive teaching and learning methods and practices, and present models for culturally responsive and inclusive schooling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis topical volume will be useful for students and scholars of education, culture studies, gender studies and Dalit studies. It will also be of interest to policy-makers and NGOs working in the area of education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45616489726103,"sku":"9788125045311","price":1807.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788125045311.webp?v=1769294931","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/school-education-pluralism-and-marginality-comparative-perspectives-9788125045311","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
