Access To Knowledge

Social justice in the field of science is the key to achieving a knowledge society. Indonesia as a developing country is also trying to develop science. However, not all Indonesians have access to formal education and other sources of knowledge. The development of science led a nation that had the ability to create and shape advanced civilizations. This paper is based on a literature study and official government data related to education access. Social justice towards science will be achieved by creating a balance in access to knowledge and the availability of sources of knowledge. The decreasing level of illiteracy indicates that the community has received a proper education. There are five aspects to achieving progress in a knowledge-based society namely infrastructure, content, affordability, diversity, and human capacity. Keywords:  Community Development, Education Access, Social Justice, Knowledge Society ABSTRAK Kemajuan dan kemakmuran telah dirasakan oleh berbagai negara di beberapa negara Amerika utara, eropa, dan beberapa negara Asia seperti Jepang, Korea Selatan dan China. Kemajuan ini diperoleh karena penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan di negara mereka. Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang juga berusaha untuk mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan. Namun selama ilmu pengetahuan di sebarkan secara tidak merata, negara ini sulit untuk bangkit dari keterpurukan tersebut. Kemajuan bangsa hanya diperoleh jika masyarakat Indonesia telah mendapatkan keadilan sosial dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan. Keadilan sosial dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan adalah kunci untuk mencapai sebuah masyarakat pengetahuan atau knowledge society. Dalam membentuk masyarakat pengetahuan yang berkeadilan sosial setidaknya ada lima aspek yang perlu diperhatikan, yakni infrastruktur fisik, konten pengetahuan, keterjangkauan, keberagaman, dan kapasitas manusia.

School Placement

AbstractThe last Australian government review on rural education reveals that staffing schools continues to be a challenge. To examine this problem, the paper draws on data from semi-structured interviews with pre-service teachers undertaking rural school placement. The aim is to address rural school staffing through a bi-dimensional social justice approach by drawing on a politics of distribution and recognition. While distributive justice has always been at the centre of the problem, it is argued that a solution might also encompass a politics of recognition that puts “place” as a significant category to understand the complexities of rural staffing.

Rural Background

In this paper, I address the issues of rural disadvantage in accessing higher education. Taking an autoethnographic approach and building on research on rural education, which has shown that geography is an important stratifier of educational outcomes, I reflect on the factors that helped me to access higher education despite my rural background in Kazakhstan. I argue that the role of students’ social capital in accessing higher education is critical.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
