In early 2016, the Global Observatory for Inclusion (GLOBI) launched a partnership with the leading peer-reviewed journal in education in Bulgaria, Pedagogy. GLOBI believes that raising awareness by sharing knowledge and stimulating dialogue is a major tool towards developing inclusive thinking and practices at all levels.
The partnership involves the publication of a series of academic papers on the topics of SPECIAL AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION and EDUCATION FOR THE MOST MARGINALISED LEARNERS.
Equitable access to education is crucial to ensure that every human being is given equal opportunities to develop their unique potential to the fullest. Education is a fundamental human rights. This principle is expressed in various international human rights treaties, including the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (CRPD), which in Article 24 affirms that education should be directed to fostering “sense of dignity and self-worth, and the strengthening of respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and human diversity”, along with the personality, talents, creativity, mental and physical abilities of people with disabilities.
Both empirical and theoretical studies and analyses are accepted for review and publication on Pedagogy.
Contributions must be submitted to info@globi-observatory.org. The deadline for submission id 15th March 2017.
