Inclusion/exclusion: an educational challenge

Exclusion/inclusion in education are terms generally referring to situations of hardship in the disabled, individuals with special educational needs or in conditions of marginalization. In the wake of original French sociological research, in-depth reflections have been devoted to this theme. Enriching the pedagogical vocabulary on exclusion is the first step to circumscribe the problem and start positive actions to break down social and educational exclusion barriers. The result is an articulated and linguistically updated picture of the problem if the goal is, as we hope, to use the tools to lower the threshold of indifference in a political and educational line of inclusion and material and cultural redemption.
