Second International Handbook of Urban Education (Springer International Handbooks of Education)

Annotation This second handbook offers all new content in which readers will find a thoughtful and measured interrogation of significant contemporary thinking and practice in urban education. Each chapter reflects contemporary cutting-edge issues in urban education as defined by their local context. One important theme that runs throughout this handbook is how urban is defined, and under what conditions the marginalized are served by the schools they attend. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of nations. This second handbook focuses on factors such as social stratification, segmentation, segregation, racialization, urbanization, class formation and maintenance, and patriarchy. The central concern is to explore how equity plays out for those traditionally marginalized in urban schools in different locations around the globe. Researchers will find an analysis framework that will make the current practice and outcomes of urban education, and their alternatives, more transparent, and in turn this will lead to solutions that can help improve the life-options for students historically underserved by urban schools Front Matter....Pages i-lxvi Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Urban Education and Inclusion in Africa: Section Editor’s Introduction....Pages 3-14 The Possiblities Offered by Inclusive Education in Addressing the Challenges of Urban Education....Pages 15-25 Financing of Inclusive Education in Urban Settings of Swaziland....Pages 27-35 Trends of Inclusive Education and Impediments in Urban Schools of Ethiopia....Pages 37-50 Tackling Education of Girl Child with Disability in Urban Settings of Uganda....Pages 51-65 Role of Urban Non-formal Education in Inclusive Education Provision in Nairobi Kenya....Pages 67-75 Front Matter....Pages 77-77 Section Introduction: How Nation-States Respond to the Impacts of Migration, Immigration and Ethnic Diversity in the Context of Globalization in India, China, Japan, Korea and Singapore....Pages 79-95 Engaging Identities and Cultures in a Globalized, Postcolonial India: Implications for Decolonizing Curriculum and Pedagogy....Pages 97-112 The Education Issues of the Children of Internal Migrant Workers in China....Pages 113-132 Promises and Practices: A Case Study on Compulsory Education Policy Implementation in a Large Migrant-Inflow City in China....Pages 133-149 Transnational Migration and Urban Education in Japan....Pages 151-172 Multicultural Education in Korea....Pages 173-193 Rethinking Diversity in South Korea: Examining the Ideological Underpinnings of Multicultural Education Policies and Programs....Pages 195-212 Educating All Children in Multicultural, Multilingual Singapore: The Quest for Equity Amidst Diversity....Pages 213-234 Front Matter....Pages 235-235 Urban Education in Eastern Europe: Section Editors’ Introduction....Pages 237-241 Contemporary Educational Problems and Major Challenges as a Part of Curriculum Changes in Croatia: A Multiple Perspectives Insight....Pages 243-264 Urban School Culture in Croatia: Student Empowerment or Spirit Impoverishment?....Pages 265-277 Habitus of Multilingual Children and Youths in Urban Areas in Eastern Croatia....Pages 279-295 Front Matter....Pages 297-297 The ‘Urban’ and Education in India: Section Editor’s Introduction....Pages 299-318 Homogenized Educational Imagination and Polarized Educational Opportunities: Schooling in Contemporary Kolkata....Pages 319-345 Front Matter....Pages 297-297 The City, Education and Social Mobility: Women’s Narratives from Delhi....Pages 347-368 Education in the ‘Sanskarnagari’: Baroda, Provincial Capital of a ‘Progressive’ Princely State in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century....Pages 369-395 Closed City ‘Spaces’: Differential Access to Education in Vijayawada, South India....Pages 397-415 Production of an ‘Educational’ City: Shadow Education Economy and Re-structuring of Kota in India....Pages 417-443 On the Margins of ‘Opportunity’: Urbanisation and Education in Delhi’s Metropolitan Fringe....Pages 445-467 Front Matter....Pages 469-469 Urban Education in Latin America: Section Editor’s Introduction....Pages 471-485 Schooling Processes and the Indigenous Peoples in Urban Contexts in Mexico....Pages 487-503 Public Education Policies in Chile: Tensions and Conflicts in the Ongoing Reforms....Pages 505-522 Evaluation and Accountability in Large-Scale Educational System in Chile and Its Effects on Student’s Performance in Urban Schools....Pages 523-539 The Inclusive Potential of Secondary Education in Brazil.
