About This Book

"Equality in Education: Fairness and Inclusion is a scholarly call to action. As the book reminds us, governments come and go and in doing so they busy themselves with policy to mark their patch. Inequality and exclusion remain stubborn foes that are proving to be somewhat impervious to glossy policy pronouncements. The change that Hugo Claus calls for requires careful analysis and bold actions. The editors have assembled a collection of insightful essays that assist in that project. Professor R

Our Review

This academic work tackles the persistent challenges of educational inequality and systemic exclusion that continue to plague modern school systems despite decades of policy reforms. It presents a rigorous collection of essays that move beyond surface-level solutions, offering a critical analysis of why many initiatives fail to create substantive change. The book serves as a scholarly call to action, arguing that dismantling entrenched inequity requires both deep understanding and courageous implementation. It directly confronts the reality that political cycles often produce flashy but ineffective policies that leave core problems unaddressed.

What distinguishes this volume is its commitment to pairing theoretical insight with practical pathways toward a more just educational landscape. The assembled research provides educators, policymakers, and graduate students with the analytical tools to diagnose systemic failures and the conceptual framework to advocate for meaningful reform. Readers seeking a serious examination of social justice in schooling will find a compelling argument that fairness and inclusion are not merely policy goals but fundamental prerequisites for a functional democracy. The collection ultimately empowers its audience to move from critique to action, making it a vital resource for anyone committed to the hard work of educational transformation.
