The overall aim of this module is to explore conceptions of human rights, equality and justice, and to consider how these apply to prominent debates in the context of education. We will examine competing conceptions of rights, equality and justice, and explore how these apply to debates about statutory education, affirmative action and multicultural schooling. We will look at such questions as how much priority should be given to the most disadvantaged pupils, the case for compulsory schooling and how far schooling should prepare pupils for a world of work that may not share the values that educationalists wish to promote. Amongst the groups we take a close look at are prisoners, migrants and children with profound and multiple learning difficulties and disabilities.
