The Global Convergence Of Vocational and Special Education

Mass Schooling and Modern Educability

Beschreibung

The global trend in educational participation has brought with it a cross-national consequence: the expansion of students with "special needs" (SEN) placed in special education and the growth of "low achieving" students diverted to vocational tracks. This book explores the global expansion of special and vocational education as a highly variable event, not only across nations of considerable economic, political and cultural difference, but between nations with evident similarities as well. A distinguishing focus of the book is the view of policies of special and vocational education as much more than legislative enactments; they are theologies that often share more in common with the sacred.
