Education and Disadvantaged Children and Young People Zusammenfassung

Education and Disadvantaged Children and Young People Mitsuko Matsumoto

Do street children go to school, and if not, why not? What kind of education can be 'meaningful' to young people affected by conflict? The contributors explore groups of children and young people who have no, or very limited, educational opportunities in various contexts, including Vietnam, Ukraine, the UK, the USA, and India. They explore a number of educational initiatives that have contributed to improving the lives of disadvantaged children, drawing on the perceptions and experiences of disadvantaged children and young people themselves. Each chapter contains contemporary questions to encourage active engagement with the material and an annotated list of suggested reading to support further exploration.

Education and Disadvantaged Children and Young People Bewertungen

In sum, this is an insightful volume on educational disadvantage from a truly global perspective which should appeal to a generalist audience, as intended by the series editor. -- Stephanie Bengtsson * International Review of Education *
