Summary
The volume contains six case studies that address a significant aspect or specific phenomenon in the local context of inclusive education or social inclusion in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The cases raise a number of questions relating to the purpose and nature of schooling, about who should have access to schools and how such access might be negotiated. These cases also ask questions about the respective roles of policy, parents, civic society, advocacy groups, professionals, NGOs, and government agencies. It considers how notions of disability are constructed in the region. In particular it looks at some of the ways in which the Soviet legacy of defectology still informs policy and practice today. Martyn Rouse is Professor Emeritus at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, where until his retirement, he was Chair of Social and Educational Inclusion and Director of the Inclusive Practice Project. Kate Lapham is a Senior Program Manager for the Open Society Education Support Program and has worked in Central Asia since 2004. Publisher's note.
