| Abstract: | "Inclusion'' is an encompassing term within a whole assemblage of events. In this chapter I fluctuate from reading "inclusion" as an isolated notion to speaking about "inclusion" in a focussed applied concept in education, a contestable idiom seasoned with a mass of "currents and beliefs". An annotation I need to make at this point is that within the local context, " inclusive education'' is turning out to be a cliche-a politically correct term that is used by politicians in their speeches and for policy-makers to silence all woes. Service providers cover the tracks that often lead to a different direction than that of socio-educational "inclusion". |
