International Perspectives on Inclusive Education

International developments and impulses call for the equitable and inclusive design of education systems. This book takes this up and focuses on the often blurred relationship between inclusive education and educational equity. By compiling current research results and theoretical contributions from several European countries on the topic, the authors create an overarching framework for discussion. Addressing the question of the relationship between inclusive education and educational equity, the book takes up a current topic on which there are still many unanswered questions. The need for theoretical foundations and clarifications is high. International impulses such as Agenda 2030, which formulate inclusive education and the reduction of social inequality as goals, explicitly call for this, but they encounter different education systems at the national level and are discussed differently accordingly. This book therefore deliberately places these questions in an international framework and compiles theory-based and empirical contributions by authors from various European countries.
