The right to education is a right that continues to be echoed globally, constitutive for many of personal, social, economic, cultural and political development in an increasingly interconnected world. Education is also frequently considered to be one of the basic mechanisms through which people can be lifted out of poverty, and hence a matter of social justice. Therefore, all children deserve a quality education. For each child, education is crucial: for their social skills, their health and their mental and physical development. Education plays a fundamental role in preparing each child to live in a society in the spirit of understanding, peace, tolerance, equality and friendship. for this reason the push towards fulfilling the promise of education for all, and leaving no one behind, has resulted in a sharp increase in children traditionally kept out of the formal education system, now accessing schools in many countries. although disability is assumed to be part of the teacher education social justice landscape, its position in the context of social justice is contested and has not been informed by an analysis of the empirical record.
