Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusion and Resilience has two broad objectives. The study seeks first to enhance knowledge about the current state of existing social safety nets (SSNs) in the Middle East and North Africa, assessing their effectiveness by bringing together new evidence, data, and country-specific analysis. Second, it proposes an open and informed debate on feasible policy options for making SSNs more effective and responsive to the population's needs. In order to do this, the authors illustrate how the main goals for SSNs-promoting social inclusion, better livelihood, and resilience to shocks-have already been achieved in some parts of the region, notwithstanding huge challenges. They also identify the groups that regional SSNs should make a priority: children and people living in rural and lagging areas. The study relies on newly collected data on citizens' preferences concerning redistribution and SSN design, discussing how political economy considerations could be taken into account in designing better SSNs, and proposing an agenda for reform, using global experiences and the new evidence presented in the book itself.

Download or read book Jean Baptiste Say and Political Economy written by Jean-Baptiste Say and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Baptiste Say (1767–1832) was one of the first great economists to have laid down the foundations of economic science. Author of the famous Treatise on Political Economy in 1803, which was revised and re-edited on several occasions, he published numerous other works including a voluminous Complete Course in Practical Political Economy in 1828–9. He also taught political economy successively from 1815 until his death in three Parisian establishments: the Athénée, the Conservatory of Arts and Trades, and the Collège de France. The texts in which Say exposes his approach to political economy have not been available in the English language until now except for the fourth edition of the ‘Preliminary Discourse’ which serves as an introduction to the Treatise. This book presents a translation which renders his works accessible to the English speaking world. For the first time, English readers will be able to become directly immersed in Say’s principal texts, where he develops his conception of political economy. Jean-Baptiste Say and Political Economy proposes a translation of a selection of eleven of Say’s texts. The first three are versions of the ‘Preliminary Discourse’ from the Treatise’s editions of 1803, 1814 and 1826 with the variations of the editions of 1817, 1819 and 1841. The following four texts are the opening discourses pronounced at the Conservatory in 1820 and 1828 and the Collège de France in 1831 and 1832. The eighth text is the ‘General Considerations’ which open the Complete Course in Practical Political Economy of 1828, with the variations of the 1840 re-edition. The final three texts are those Say devotes to ‘the progress of political economy’ in what is akin to a history of economic thought. This volume is of great importance to economic historians and people studying Jean-Baptiste Say, as well as those who are interested in economic theory and philosophy and political economy.

Download or read book Inclusion is Dead written by Peter Imray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusion is Dead is a provocative polemic against the widely held notion that inclusion for all children and young people with SEN is both possible and desirable. For those with severe learning difficulties (SLD) and profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), the authors argue, it is neither. Imray and Colley assert that the dominance of inclusion has meant that there has been no serious attempt to look at the educational difficulties faced by learners with PMLD and SLD. As a vision of egalitarianism and equality for all, they say, inclusion is dead. The authors controversially believe that unless education changes, it will remain as a disabling institution that does the exact opposite of its intention. The book presents the argument that theorists of inclusion have failed to provide practical solutions on how inclusion can be achieved when SLD and PMLD learners are involved, as well as discussing the drawbacks of the ‘inclusion for all argument’. With up-to-date references throughout, Inclusion is Dead will be an insightful read for teachers and SENCO trainers, as well as postgraduates and undergraduates studying courses on politics, philosophy and society.

Download or read book Students at Risk of School Failure written by José Jesús Gázquez and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this Research Topic is to determine the conditions that place students at risk of school failure, identifying student and context variables. In spite of the fact that there is currently little doubt about how one learns and how to teach, in some countries of the “developed world,” there is still there is a high rate of school failure. Although the term “school failure” is a very complex construct, insofar as its causes, consequences, and development, from the field of educational psychology, the construct “student engagement” has recently gained special interest in an attempt to deal with the serious problem of school failure. School engagement builds on the anatomy of the students’ involvement in school and describes their feelings, behaviors, and thoughts about their school experiences. So, engagement is an important component of students’ school experience, with a close relationship to achievement and school failure. Children who self-set academic goals, attend school regularly and on time, behave well in class, complete their homework, and study at home are likely to interact adequately with the school social and physical environments and perform well in school. In contrast, children who miss school are more likely to display disruptive behaviors in class, miss homework frequently, exhibit violent behaviors on the playground, fail subjects, be retained and, if the behaviors persist, quit school. Moreover, engagement should also be considered as an important school outcome, eliciting more or less supportive reactions from educators. For example, children who display school-engaged behaviors are likely to receive motivational and instructional support from their teachers. The opposite may also be true. But what makes student engage more or less? The relevant literature indicates that personal variables (e.g., sensory, motor, neurodevelopmental, cognitive, motivational, emotional, behavior problems, learning difficulties, addictions), social and/or cultural variables (e.g., negative family conditions, child abuse, cultural deprivation, ethnic conditions, immigration), or school variables (e.g., coexistence at school, bullying, cyberbullying) may concurrently hinder engagement, preventing the student from acquiring the learnings in the same conditions as the rest of the classmates.

Download or read book Scolariser des l ves avec autisme et TED written by Christine Philip and published by Dunod. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pédagogie de l’inclusion abolit toute forme d’exclusion et ne propose d’autres modalités de scolarisation pour les élèves handicapés que celles en vigueur dans les classes ordinaires, quelle que soit la gravité du handicap. C’est l’école ordinaire pour tous : l’école doit répondre aux besoins éducatifs de « tous » les élèves, quels que sont leurs profils. Toutefois, si « l’inclusion » s’est substituée à « l’intégration » dans les discours, il importe d’apprécier la situation actuelle à travers une pluralité d’exemples concrets. Malgré l’élan donné, force est de constater que la loi de février 2005 et ses textes d’application affirment seulement « un droit à la scolarisation pour les élèves handicapés ». Elle n’a pas déclaré que cette scolarisation se ferait en milieu ordinaire pour « tous » les élèves. Elle peut tout aussi bien s’effectuer en milieu spécialisé, pour les cas de handicaps plus sévères. Dans cet ouvrage, les auteurs posent la question de l’inclusion scolaire de l’autisme et apportent des pistes de réflexion pour la scolarisation des personnes autistes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis environ une décennie, on tend à mettre — ou à remettre — les enfants handicapés dans le circuit scolaire normal : ce mouvement concerne aussi bien l'Europe que l'Amérique du Nord.

On trouvera dans cet ouvrage des informations objectives sur les modèles d'intégration, sur l'attitude des parents, des enseignants, sur l'évaluation de l'intégration par ses divers acteurs dont les enfants eux-mêmes. Tous ceux qui, à des titres divers, sont questionnés par ces problèmes de l'intégration scolaire, trouveront dans cet ouvrage des données qui pourront inspirer leur réflexion et leur pratique.
