Inclusive Education Institutions
Access to effective governance and justice structures is important. Our research investigates and promote education institutions and systems that recognise and value everybody’s rights, everybody’s situation and everybody’s needs. This means balancing responsibility with rights, as well as creating mechanisms which address power imbalances between those who hold positions of power and control, and those who do not. We believe that understanding of particular contexts is critical and our current work focuses particularly on India through the RAISE and P2N projects.
Our research invests the effort in understanding what people need, what their aspirations are and how inclusive institutions can best respond.
