Abstract

1989. aastast alates on Uus-Meremaa haridussüsteemis toimunud mitmed ulatuslikud reformid, mille tulemusena on sellest saanud üks kõige enam detsentraliseeritud süsteeme maailmas. Artiklis analüüsitakse, mil määral vastab Uus-Meremaal toimuv kümnele kaasava hariduse tunnusele, milleks on kontseptsioon, paigutamine, õppekava, hindamine, õpetamine, aktsepteerimine, juurdepääs, toetus, ressursid ja juhtimine. Töös antakse neist komponentidest lühiülevaade, mida illustreeritakse näidetega olukorrast Uus-Meremaal, ja jõutakse järeldusele, et kõigi kümne tunnuse poolest on Uus-Meremaa heal järjel.
