Education Inclusion 2
Inclusion and Exclusion in education
Introduction
The basic definition of a school refers to it as an institution structured to provide pupils
and students space and a conducive environment for learning under the direction of teachers.
Different countries structure their education systems in different ways including formal
education which in most cases is compulsory. One of the main characteristics of these education
systems is the fact that learners go through a series of various levels of school mainly divided
into two, namely the primary school for young children and secondary school meant for
teenagers (Twenge & Donnelly 2016, p. 626). Most education systems are designed that
learners join colleges or universities after completion of secondary school, and this level of
education is not compulsory I many countries.
The education systems exhibited in various countries have far-reaching benefits to the
individual learners as well as the entire society; the various levels are significant in one way or
the other. One of the main importance of education systems and school is that school enables
learners to identify their majors which in turn become the foundation to their professional and
career life. It should be noted that right from kindergarten, teachers have the tendency of asking
learners what they would want to be in life and the profession they would like to pursue when
they grow older (Berei, Karp, & Kauffman 2018, p. 300). The answers pupils and students give
towards this question give an indication of the learners' interests and the professional direction
they like. As they transition through the various levels of education systems and structures, from
elementary and secondary school, they start gravitating towards some set of specific disciplines;
they choose among these disciplines when they finally make it to college or university.

School also prepares students for the real world by instilling basic life skills like time
management, decision making, prioritizing, and stress management (Albritton et al. 2014, p.
690). When students are given homework to complete within some specific deadline, they are
trained to manage time and make a priority on what to do at that time. Time management and
decision making the learners learn at school help them in the real world at professional and
personal levels.
School and other educational institutions help students develop and improve their
social and networking skills (McCluskey et al. 2016, p. 535). In these institutions, students are in
companies of various groups of people, mainly fellow students and teachers. With such
population, students socialize and make friends among themselves in classrooms, hallways,
bathrooms, and lunchrooms; the relationships made here help them achieve some events that
would otherwise prove futile. It is believed that students will always learn something new every
time they go to school, things that they would lack without attending such sessions (Ekbia 2016,
p. 690). For instance, it is argued that a student who attends school sessions for five days a week
has better grasp and retention of information than one who does not attend such sessions.
Another contribution of school is the fact that school sessions encourage students to have
an interest in co-curricular activities. By participating in such activities after classes, the students
identify and nurture their talents in sports which may end up being their main profession just like
professional sportspeople (Kirby, Walker, & Mazerolle 2018, p. 525). Based on the above
illustrations, it is realized that going to school contributes a lot in an individual’s life as
evidenced by their ability to manage time, stress, and their ability to make decisions and
priorities. One will now acknowledge that it is true education is a major tool in life and
contributes a lot for one to be successful.

Despite the important role education plays in the lives of individuals, there are challenges
that face the sector and derail the good work the sector plays. Some of the main challenges
facing the education sector include bullying and exclusion in educational institutions (Huang
2014, p. 1430). Most of the victims of exclusion in education institutions include immigrants,
students with records like young offenders, students with disabilities, those experiencing
behavioral challenges, children undergoing some special care, and those who experience
discrimination because they exhibit differences skin color. It is worth noting that some of the
reasons used for exclusion are beyond the control of the victims; for instance, the students
excluded due to physical disabilities, skin color, and immigrants fleeing war or terrorism.
Types of Exclusion in Schools
According to SU et al. (2017, p. 110), exclusion can either be a lawful exclusion or
unlawful exclusion. The act of exclusion can be carried out by individuals, unlawful exclusion or
done according to the policies set by the institution's system, lawful exclusion. An organization
may formulate policies that exclude participants with some specific characteristics like
behavioral challenges or children with some specific records like violence. Such institutional
policies may totally exclude a victim or come up with terms and conditions to be met before the
admission of such victims. Such kinds of policies are normally formulated in line with the
various government directives based on the related provisions of the constitution. There are
instances where an organization allows for a specific number or percentage of a given gender in
their staff or students in the institution (Warner-Garcia 2016, p. 150). Based on this, some of the
qualified people may miss the chance of joining the institution given that the required number
has been met. An example of such institutions include some religious institutions that do not
