In this article we recover the perspective of the sociology of emergencies and link the proposal of decolonial thinking with critical Latin American pedagogies. With this conceptual framework, and going through different conceptions of political subjectivation, we propose to approach the experience of People´s High Schools for Young People and Adults in Argentina (BPJA, for its acronym in Spanish) as part of the Latin American pedagogical movements oriented to the critical reconstruction of pedagogical knowledge. The BPJA are high schools for young people and adults that work in a self-managed way within the framework of territorial organizations and recovered factories, and carry out a political-pedagogical project linked to popular education with an emancipatory horizon. They demand that the State guarantees the right to education for all social sectors, while defending the political and pedagogical autonomy of their curriculum. Within the new social, political and -therefore- pedagogical ways of construction of various Latin American social movements, we propose that the BPJA are a significant expression of the gestation of emerging alternatives, which with great creative and self-reflective potential have managed to stress certain traditional forms of education, orienting themselves to the formation of political and critical subjects, and transforming themselves into collective pedagogical subjects.

To the Editor: The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (S6) of 19751 not only provides special appropriations for education of handicapped children, but has the potential to add considerably to the progress and development of better health care for handicapped children. Act S6 stipulates that all handicapped children 3 to 21 years of age may enjoy the right to education in the least restrictive environment, at no cost to parents. Such legislation will reduce

Abstract Introduction In recent years, the universal right to education has been emphasised by the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In this paper, we mapped policies relevant to special education needs and parental involvement of children with autism at an international level and in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Methods A policy path analysis was performed using a scoping review as an underlying methodological framework. This allowed for a rapid gathering of available data from which a timeline of adopted policies was derived. Results and discussion Internationally, the universal right to education has been reinforced repeatedly and the values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have been reiterated with every reinforcement. Also, the additional support that a child with special education needs requires is acknowledged and measures are taken to facilitate access to any education for all children. There are slight cross-country differences between the countries under study, attributable to differences in national regulation of education. However, all countries have progressed to a state where the right to education for all children is integrated on a policy level and measures are taken to enable children with special needs to participate in education. Recently, an attempt to implement a form of inclusive education was made as a form of special needs provision. Nevertheless, nowhere has this been implemented successfully yet. Conclusion The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a critical juncture in international policy and created an environment where the universal right to education has been implemented for all children in the countries under study.

Abstract One of the major challenges facing special and general education teachers and parents in Guyana is the current educational move towards inclusion. This move has been characterized by the changing political and economic systems which have resulted in inclusion gaining increased momentum in many circles including major organizations, institutions, and even among members of civil society. Inclusion has also been touted as the prelude to meaningful political, economic, social, educational, religious, and cultural engagement in governance and other decision making processes in Guyana. The concept hinges on the right to participate and become involved in various activities regardless of ability or disability. The Jomtien Declaration (1990) which was adopted by the World Conference on Education for All in Thailand in March 1990, mandates the removal of barriers to education for all children. The declaration also affirms the right to education for every individual as well as equal access for all categories of persons with disabilities (United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), 1990). While the main pillar of the declaration is the right to education, it also mandates the removal of barriers that would prevent equal learning opportunities for vulnerable and marginalized groups (UNESCO, 1990). This paper examines issues relevant to inclusion and the education of children with learning disabilities in Guyana. The author gives an account of the political system, inclusive education, and legislation for persons with disabilities, and highlights the challenges faced by teachers in educating children with learning disabilities in Guyana.

The right to education is an important fundamental right for all Lao citizens and is regarded as one of the priorities of development in Lao pdr. The Lao pdr realizes the importance of education for all as a significant tool to help the country graduate from the least developed country status in 2020. Primary and tertiary education is therefore one of the Lao pdr Government’s priorities. This research analyses the existing rights of children to access primary education in Vientiane Province, the education system in Lao pdr and its education policy for all children. The researchers conducted an in-depth review on the actual implementation of children’s access to education in Vientiane Province, identifying barriers to the full implementation of education policy in the province as well as other important external factors for education. Recommendations are made for increasing children’s access to education, thereby improving the right to education in the state and building a much stronger foundation for the development of Lao pdr.

While commitment to a universal entitlement to education is highly desirable, some significant limitations have been identified in the right to education as currently expressed and implemented. This article assesses the contribution that the capabilities approach can make in this regard. While some proponents have suggested that capabilities should replace a rights framework, it is argued here that the elements of ‘threshold’ and ‘duty-bearer’ present in human rights are essential, and that a more promising approach is to combine the two frameworks. Three significant contributions that the capabilities approach can make in relation to Education for All are proposed: providing a fuller conception of the realization of the right to education; addressing the heterogeneity of learners; and guarding against an overly state-facing approach.

In Italy, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all schools were closed on March 5, 2020 and it was mandatory to switch to “distance learning”, in order not to interrupt the teaching continuity and to guarantee the right to education for all students. The Ministry of Education suggested several initiatives to teachers, including the PPS national project. In the paper we analyse why and how the PPS project, intended for teachers of secondary schools of the STEM disciplines but opened in the emergency to teachers of all disciplines, was able to provide much needed support and not only. Following this opening and the consequent registration of many new teachers, three different phases were carried out: an analysis phase of the teachers’ needs for online teaching, a phase of support and initial help, and a training phase. The results show an extremely high participation of the teachers and a wide online collaboration. All the teachers of the PPS will certainly have an advantage in the post-covid teaching, since they can take advantage of the work done and the experience and skills gained in the past.

The article seeks to reflect on the Education Forum institution, its competences, limits and possibilities in the context of the class struggle that is established in the field of educational policies. Taking dialectical historical materialism as a reference, a recent process of disputes around the national education policy is contextualized, in which the National Education Plan, the National Education Forum and the Education Conferences gain centrality, as instances where the struggle takes place of class by different projects of education and society. In the analysis, the Municipal Education Forums of Tocantins are taken as concrete references, as elements of the centralization-decentralization process of educational public policies at the national, state and municipal levels. The final considerations point out that in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the conservative and neoliberal agenda emerges with more force, revealing the interests of the economic power of financial institutions, allying the media with the market, imposing an ultra-conservative agenda and a political agenda in international plan, which represents new challenges for the progressive field, in the organization of a plan of struggles in defense of public education, which cannot dispense with effective social participation in shaping an agenda aimed at guaranteeing the right to education for all.

As políticas inclusivas apontam avanços no direito à escolarização de alunos, contemplando a sua diversidade. Dessa forma, pessoas com deficiência, transtorno do espectro autista, altas habilidades e outras singularidades, vem ocupando espaços nas escolas. Contudo, há muito a ser percorrido para que a inclusão se efetive, sendo um dos pilares, a mediação pedagógica, a partir da escuta sensível, que permite atender às necessidades e especificidades dos alunos. O presente artigo intenciona analisar e problematizar as práticas docentes e os recursos didáticos, utilizados no ensino de Geografia, com ênfase na categoria Lugar e na cartografia tátil. A temática é relevante, pois há uma imagem estereotipada da geografia escolar, considerada como uma disciplina mnemônica, difícil, que urge ser desconstruída, sobretudo para alunos com deficiência, que vivenciam a chamada “inclusão marginal”. O texto é produto de uma pesquisa colaborativa, com desenvolvimento de oficinas, a partir de dados coletados em entrevistas, grupos focais e questionários.  Nos achados da pesquisa, assume destaque a subtração do direito à educação, pela falta de equidade de oportunidades e de recursos táteis não usados pela grande maioria dos professores. Nesse sentido, uma educação de qualidade, para todos, é um desafio necessário e urgente que a sociedade deve assegurar. Palavras-chave Ensino de geografia, Diversidade, Inclusão, Cartografia tátil.   TEACHING GEOGRAPHY IN THE CONTEXT OF DIVERSITY AND EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION Abstract Inclusive policies point to advances in the right to schooling for students, taking into account their diversity. Thus, people with disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, high skills and other singularities, have been occupying spaces in schools. However, there is much to be done for inclusion to become effective, one of the pillars being pedagogical mediation, based on sensitive listening, which allows meeting the needs and specificities of students. This article intends to analyze and problematize teaching practices and didactic resources, used in the teaching of Geography, with emphasis on the category Place and tactile cartography. The theme is relevant, as there is a stereotyped image of school geography, considered as a mnemonic, difficult discipline, which urgently needs to be deconstructed, especially for students with disabilities, who experience the so-called “marginal inclusion”. The text is the product of collaborative research, with the development of workshops, based on data collected in interviews, focus groups and questionnaires. In the research findings, the subtraction of the right to education is highlighted, due to the lack of equity in opportunities and tactile resources not used by the vast majority of teachers. In this sense, quality education for all is a necessary and urgent challenge that society must ensure. Keywords Geography teaching, Diversity, Inclusion, Tactile cartography.
