Synopsis

United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goal 4 seeks to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all learners. Education can only unfold its full potential to transform our world if it is approached from a lifelong learning perspective. In this way, learners' lives are brought closer to education through integrated, multi-sectoral approaches that draw the focus from supply to demand. In order to achieve this, institutions and educators need to come up with strategies that are inclusive regardless of the student's intellectual challenges, physical stature, gender, language, culture, or mode of learning. Enablers, Barriers, and Challenges for Inclusive Curriculum examines the impact of enablers and barriers on education for students and teachers. It discusses promoting inclusive curriculum in face-to-face, online, and blended learning environments. Covering topics such as educational transitions, large classrooms, and school-going young mothers, this book is an excellent resource for educators, student teachers, parents, policymakers, professionals, researcher, scholars, academicians, and more.
