ÇOCUKLAR VE EĞİTİMDE DIŞLANMA

Abstract

Eğitim hakkı, temel insan haklarından birisi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu anlayışa karşın belirli toplumsal grupların eğitim hizmetlerine erişiminde güçlükler yaşadığı açıktır. Bu durum önemli bir sosyal sorun olarak eğitimde dışlanmayı ortaya çıkartmaktadır. Çocukların eğitim süreçlerinden dışlanması toplumsal yapıyı etkileyen önemli faktörlerden birisidir. Eğitimde dışlanma mikro düzeyden makro düzeye pek çok faktörle ilgilidir. Bu faktörler temelde mikro düzeyde okul ve öğrenme ortamıyla; mezzo düzeyde eğitimin örgütlenmesi ve sunumuyla ve makro düzeyde eğitim politikalarıyla ilgilidir. Bu çalışmanın konusunu, çocuklar açısından eğitimde dışlanmaya ilişkin söz konusu faktörleri tartışmak oluşturmaktadır.
