This book reveals the entanglement of ethics, rights and justice in education. It aims to develop everyday philosophy to guide choices as we continue to attempt to make schools places for all comers. The authors offer education as a social good, a building block for inclusive communities. This assumes an ethical predisposition. Ethics and inclusive education takes the reader on a journey through the conceptual foundations of ethics, rights and justice to assist us to build a formulation of the fair or just society and the way ethical approaches to schooling may support or unravel that.
