The Children of the Other: from Marginalization to Inclusion
Journal Title: Journal of Education and Literature - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Marginalization, Exclusion and Social Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties appear very often in children from poor families, generally, not just in children of immigrants but also children of the hosting country. Poverty is the main factor of exclusion in school. Unemployed or underemployed parents face marginalization problems themselves and with their children. In Athens, Greece, some children work and, as a consequence, they are often absent from school classes. Older children may take also the role of babysitters in home, with the result to stop regular attending school. Another reason for exclusion problems may be separated parents or parents lost during immigration. Such situations, with the conjunction of a number of learning difficulties and, especially, of the inadequate knowledge of the Greek language bring about an immense increase in dropouts.
