The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2015-2030 strive for a world that is "just, equitable, and inclusive," in which everyone receives care, education, and opportunities to thrive. Yet many children are living on the margins of society, face multiple disadvantages, and are excluded from full participation in all that life has to offer. To examine the science, economics, and politics of investing in the health, education, nutrition, and social protection of children at the margins, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in Prague, Czech Republic in November 2015. Held in partnership with the Open Society Foundations and the International Step by Step Association, the workshop convened a diverse group of stakeholders from around the world for 2 days of discussion. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.

Focusing on young children in a global context is an approach to end the cycle of poverty and improve the well-being of nations. Improving well-being necessarily begins with core elements such as health, education, nutrition, and social protection; many efforts to improve child development in the first decade of life focus on areas to meet young children's basic needs. Young children living in low-resourced settings are vulnerable to developmental and educational risk factors, such as stunting and undernutrition, disease, caregiver depression, lack of access to quality preprimary and primary education, disabilities, poverty, and societal and familial violence. While each of these areas is important for children's growth and development, there are potential increased benefits from integrated programs and coordinated policies that address more than one of these areas simultaneously, particularly for children living in low-resourced communities. An integrated and coordinated "all system" approach may be the best way to guarantee that children will have the prerequisites for healthy development. The Forum on Investing in Young Children Globally was established with the goal of integrating knowledge with action in regions around the world to inform evidence-based, strategic investments in young children, birth through age 8. The forum held nine workshops across five continents over 3 years. The goal was to learn from experiences in multiple regions and engage in culturally embedded dialogue. This publication summarizes the key themes from the presentations and discussions of the workshops.

The abused Children, trafficked, are not only that of the public space. In fact, through empirical observations, it appears that the family micro-contexte is also the setting in which aggression against trafficked children develops and persists. . In order to enhance rights of children and their well being, NGOs play a very important role whereby they provide child sponsorship programs. Their accomplishment in raising finances over the last decade has positioned them in the midst of the largest and most common aid organizations at large. From this point of view, the juvenile victim of human trafficking and other crime will bear the stigma almost all her life, with possible consequences on her reproductive health, on her psychology of mother, wife, educator, in short, on her network relational. This state of affairs puts back on the agenda the urgent problem of institutional support to juvenile victim of human trafficking and other crime, incest being considered taboo, as a social prohibition in many cultures of different parts of the countries. But there have been concerns raised about the methods and lapses these NGOs play in the oversight and practices relating to the programs. Indeed, how can we gauge state governance vis-à-vis this situation that becomes a real issue? What are the actions of policy makers as well as NGOs in the follow-up and psychosocial reintegration of juvenile victim of human trafficking and other crime and also examine the consequence of headship and organizational effectiveness? How important are they to taking into account issues related to the human trafficking and violence against inmates is exercised against them? What concrete proposals can be made to support the political forces in the fight against this specific type of violence against children? How these problems can be highlighted in their political aspect and can be drawn out of the darkness where they have been relegated and neglected? Another area which the researcher tries to understand through this dissertation is that since there is a lot of difference between the environment in an institutional home and a normal home, cases have been found where children from these institutional homes have tried to run away because of reasons that may range from ill treatment to lack of providing proper food. Hence through this project researcher tries to focus upon this area. Seeking to find answers to this questioning, the present work proposes to make a socio-critical analysis of the politico-institutional dynamics on the question. It is a socio-anthropological analysis that seeks to identify the strengths and weaknesses of governance in this area and reveal the scandal by the detailed description of the various forms of human trafficking and indicating how these practices were concealed and ignored although they constitutes acts of high crime, with the aim of developing concrete proposals that can help policy makers in their possible interventions in this direction. To achieve this, methodological prescriptions have been respected. One years ago, the anthology Kosish (Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, 2018) was published, in which various experts discussed the importance of empirical research for different policy and prevention practice related to inmates residing in shelter home and human trafficking.

This book focuses on India’s anti-colonial politics which Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) brought into the mainstream of nationalist thinking. It browses through the entire corpus of Tagore’s writings in the genres of poetry, fiction, and essays, to glean both used and hitherto unused/un-translated writings that illumine Tagore’s gender consciousness and (proto)feminist thought and empathy, presenting it in a wholly new light. It teases out Tagore’s original views on India’s industrial-capitalist development and his views on the roles of applied scientists and engineers in it to highlight his critique of the nature of science teaching in colonial India. The volume also delineates Tagore’s Upanişadic ecologism that creatively evoked anticolonialism and patriotism. Lucid and topical, the book will be indispensable for students and researchers in the fields of comparative literature, history, political science, international relations, and sociology at all levels, and anybody interested in literary criticism and cultural studies.

This book presents an edited collection of critical discourse situated in the fields of diversity and inclusion broadly, and more specifically, within the discipline of education. Each chapter articulates the importance of educational diversity in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4. The edited collection presents a grounding narrative of equitable learning opportunities and experiences via interpretivist theoretical frameworks and student-centered methodologies. The combination of these approaches, combined within the strong and scholarly-informed social justice lens, reminds us, that the onus of education is to acknowledge, recognise, respect, and engage with the diverse student cohorts, learning needs, and multiple knowledges and cultures that exist in educational contexts. This edited collection creates a holistic discourse around the experiences, interrogations, and innovations occurring within education communities to foreground deeper and more holistic understanding of the intersectionality of diversity and inclusion existing within the contemporary educational settings.
