Social Innovations to Address the Grand Challenge of School Education in India: Ensuring Quality Education Among Marginalized Communities
暫譯: 應對印度學校教育重大挑戰的社會創新：確保邊緣社群的教育品質

這本書匯集了有關社會創新如何有效應對印度邊緣社群提供優質學校教育這一社會重大挑戰的綜合知識。本書探討了針對邊緣群體的創新親社會模型，解決性別、種姓、階級、地理位置和宗教邊緣化等複雜問題。
書中精選了社會創新的真實案例，展示了針對持續存在的教育不平等的創新解決方案。這些模型提供比傳統方法更有效、更高效、更可持續和更公正的途徑，旨在通過改變教育組織、實踐和系統來實現長期的社會變革。本書闡明了多元利益相關者的角色，包括企業社會責任（CSR）倡議、基層社區努力、政府計劃和非政府組織（NGO）在促進包容性教育中的作用。
本書特別關注精英在推動教育私有化和社會創新中的雙重角色，並承認這些努力有時可能無意中削弱公共教育系統。通過檢視親社會組織和跨部門合作，本書揭示了創新學校模型如何為女孩、宗教少數群體、邊緣種姓和不同能力的兒童提供茁壯成長的機會。
因此，本書為政策制定者、教育工作者、研究人員和實踐者提供了寶貴的教訓，幫助他們在政府和私立教育系統中增強包容性並改善學習成果，為更廣泛的社會可持續性和公平目標做出貢獻。
