The primary objectives of this book extend beyond the mere inclusion of children with disabilities to encompass those with special educational needs, excluding physical and sensory challenges such as children from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, children from diverse cultural and linguistic groups, and children who feel alienated in classrooms. Through in-depth case studies, this book explores these complex issues and identifies the formidable barriers that hinder their integration into mainstream school education. These barriers encompass a lack of comprehensive in-service training for teachers, limited involvement of local communities, large class sizes, and the continued practice of corporal punishment, among others. By contextualizing these challenges within the existing educational system and policy framework, this book offers valuable insights into the prevailing obstacles and proposes strategies for their effective mitigation. This book is of immense value to academics and postgraduate students specializing in inclusive education, social education, and Chinese studies, as well as policy makers, school teachers, and administrators who are committed to fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032003221\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qinyi Tan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646838206714,"sku":"9781032003221","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697219471603_book.jpg?v=1697575560","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/barriers-to-inclusive-education-in-chinese-primary-schools-culture-policy-and-practice-9781032003221","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
