Education as a Mechanism of Social Inclusion - The Role of Education in Reducing The Risks of Social Exclusion

Summary/Abstract: The author is addressing the social inclusion, as a prerequisite for the optimal satisfaction of human needs (from biological to social), respectively the mechanisms by which individuals and social groups are involved in the wider community, and that are giving them the rights and the opportunities to achieve integration in one or more social systems (democratic - legal, labor - market, social welfare system, family system and the local community system). The dimension of social inclusion (education, employment, health, etc.) to which the author’s analysis will be oriented is education, because the inclusion in the education system (either as a teacher or professor, either as a student) is to partake in the ‘sociopolitical context’. So it will be drawn the attention to the link between the education with the economic (employment) and the socio-cultural (social inclusion) space, in order to emphasize the importance of including in the all three mentioned areas, with aim of reducing the risk of social exclusion and its overcoming. Therefore, the inclusive education and lifelong learning, as mechanisms of social inclusion and reducing the risks of social exclusion, are the main assumptions that this work proceeds.
