This book explores social justice and education inequalities globally for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students on education and other social science degree programmes. Using examples from a range of different countries, it examines the experiences of children and young people in education systems around the world and the policies that have sought, with differing degrees of success, to make education fairer.
It provides you with the theoretical, conceptual and empirical tools needed to understand the relationships between education, policy, inequality and distributive social justice. It also examines education alongside wider social inequalities to highlight the close relationship between education policy and social reform.
It encourages you to think critically about international and comparative education data from schools and higher education and to consider how educational resources might be redistributed fairly to ensure a more equitable educational experience for all.
