What is the definition of educational exclusion? How to measure it?

Welcome.

I am deeply grateful.

Educational exclusion refers to the process through which individuals, particularly students, are denied access to educational opportunities and resources, often due to factors such as socioeconomic status, discrimination, or special educational needs. This exclusion can manifest in various forms, including school dropouts, suspensions, or the inability to participate fully in school activities.

To measure educational exclusion, researchers can use:

Surveys: Administer standardized questionnaires to assess students' experiences of exclusion and participation in educational activities.

Interviews: Conduct qualitative interviews to explore personal narratives regarding barriers to education.

Data analysis: Analyze school records for dropout rates, disciplinary actions, and participation in programs to identify patterns of exclusion.
