The state schools established in each Australian colony in the nineteenth century were often justified on the grounds that they offered an education which would enrich and enlighten cultural life. A study of the curriculum and methods they used and the manner in which they were organized and their teachers trained and paid suggests that the state schools, far from offering an introduction to culture (in the sense of ‘high’ culture), actually provided an alternative to it. In the early twentieth century, efforts were made to reform the elementary school so that it would provide at least a limited access to culture. These efforts, bitterly criticized at the time on the ground that they distracted attention from basic subjects such as the three Rs, continued to be resisted throughout the twentieth century. At the same time as the elementary school was being changed, the state endeavoured to broaden educational opportunity and access to the high culture by establishing secondary schools. Political, economic, and administrative considerations led the state to establish a structure of schooling which, at the secondary level, provided an alternative to the cultural activities being developed in the elementary/primary school. This paper warns against a ‘back to basics’ movement which would take the culturally impoverished nineteenth-century elementary school as a model, and suggests that, despite structural limitations, the establishment of state secondary schools has led to some widening of cultural opportunities.

It conducts in-depth legal analyses dealing with a wide range of recent cases in which the rule of law and the neutral role of the secular state were put at risk by religious politics. The book’s 21 essays cover topics such as human rights, the constitutional roots of the secular state, freedom of belief and non-belief, medically assisted suicide, sexual self-determination, abortion, genital mutilation, criminal prosecution in the Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal, the collection of church taxes by the state based on baptisms of infants and minors, the collection of special church fees from atheists and Muslims by the state, church labour law, discrimination against members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Islamic veils in state schools.

A Constituição Brasileira de 1988, ora em vigor, prevê a inclusão de alunos com deficiência nas classes comuns, estabelecendo igualdade de condições para o acesso e a sua permanência na escola. Tal atitude tem despertado assim, uma série de discussões no cenário educacional. Nesse contexto, os fundamentos do atual modelo de escola são discutidos teóricos e metodologicamente, comparando-se com uma concepção de educação inclusiva e de qualidade para todos. O respeito à diversidade dos educandos, bem como a valorização das habilidades e dificuldades individuais dos alunos, tem sido muito enfatizado pela literatura especializada. Nessa perspectiva, faz-se necessária uma maior ênfase na formação docente, para que seja adequada no Atendimento Educacional Especializado. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar o processo de inclusão nas escolas públicas estaduais da sede do município de Exu-PE, com base nas concepções de inclusão de 60 professores do ensino médio. A abordagem foi quali-quanti, utilizando-se como instrumentos de coleta de dados, tanto a análise documental, quanto o questionário. Os resultados levaram a crer que os professores demonstram representações sociais positivas da inclusão, porém demandam, em sua grande maioria, por uma melhor capacitação, de forma a poderem atuar mais eficientemente com essa clientela.
