This book looks at inclusive education in the context of policy and practice in a number of different countries, particularly in relation to children and young people of school age.

At the heart of the idea of inclusive education lie serious issues concerning human rights, equal opportunities and social justice.

The papers in this book will, hopefully, contribute to stimulating further debate and dialogue over both the conceptualisation and understanding of a cross-cultural approach to inclusion and exclusion.
