Special needs education and inclusion is an important but not dominant aspect of current education reform in Kazakhstan. This presentation will explore why some children continue to be marginalised from schooling and it will locate the current struggle for inclusion in the context of international attempts to create Education for All (EFA).

Towards Inclusive Education: Swimming against the tide of educational reform?

The seminar series 'Internationalisation and Educational Reform in Eastern European and the Commonwealth of Independent States' is organised by the Kazakhstan programme research team as a platform for analysis, discussion and critique of the recent educational reforms in the Newly Independent nations of the former Soviet Union and its satellite states. From a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives the questions that we invite us all to explore are:
- the Russian/Soviet inheritance and how this continues to shape education policy and practice
- the relationship of educational reform to the development of post independence national identity
- the internationalisation of education reform, the global education space, policy 'borrowing' and the indigenisation of international practice.
All are welcome!
