Special Schools, Inclusion, and Justice discusses special school
provision in an education policy climate in which inclusion is the
dominant motif. In this context, the special school sector is an
anomaly and special schools inevitably occupy an uncertain and
somewhat invidious position. This situation raises a number of
questions concerning matters of justice and fairness with respect to
special schools and their communities. It also raises questions about
the validity of the view that only inclusion can represent justice in
education for disabled children and young people. Special Schools,
Inclusion, and Justice explores these matters from a philosophical
perspective that centres on the broader question of what, in regard to
where they go to school, might constitute a just state of affairs in
education provision for disabled children. The New Zealand education
context provides the case in point in the book, but the matters it
examines and the broader argument and philosophical analysis that it
pursues have a much wider international significance and application
given the pervasive and dominant influence of inclusion in education
policy across the world. Special Schools, Inclusion, and Justice
offers a new perspective to international debates and conversations
about matters to do with inclusion, justice, and the education of
disabled children. It will be of particular interest to scholars
working in the field of education in areas such as inclusive and
special education, philosophy of education, sociology, and policy
studies.
