Policy, Accreditation, and Global Frameworks for Inclusive Higher Education - Paperback

by Fahad A. Salendab (Editor)

The integration inclusive higher education becomes a global imperative, driven by the ways diversity enriches learning and equitable access strengthens societies. Central to this are the elements of policy, accreditation, and global frameworks, which shape how institutions respond to the needs of underrepresented and marginalized groups. Effective policies provide the legal and institutional foundations for inclusion, while accreditation ensures accountability and improvement. Global frameworks offer a shared vision and benchmarks for progress. Understanding the interplay between these components may foster more inclusive, accessible, and quality higher education systems. Policy, Accreditation, and Global Frameworks for Inclusive Higher Education explores the critical role of inclusive and equitable pedagogies in transforming global higher education systems to better serve diverse learners. It provides a nuanced understanding of how educational practices, institutional structures, and socio-political contexts shape inclusion and equity in classrooms, curricula, assessment, and leadership. This book covers topics such as assistive technologies, special education, and digital equity, and is a useful resource for educators, policymakers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
