Professor Ann Phoenix: "Being #gay is just part of life. We need to disrupt #homophobic name calling and teasing. Teachers need to talk with boys about the place of name calling and joking – if that's the major way of how boys communicate, it reproduces #inequalities. #JustEd2018

The #Nordic countries are pioneers of #equality, but many pupils are still subjected to discrimination based on #gender, sexual orientation, social class, #ethnicity, language or #disability. Check out this interview with JustEd's Gunilla Holm: bit.ly/2x2behj #JustEd2018 – at Helsinki, Finland

#JustEd2018 Keynote speaker Nihad Bunar raised questions on how to provide #inclusiveeducation opportunities for newly arrived refugee students, while keynote speaker Piia Seppänen focused on the effect of school choice policies in Finland.

Professor Joron Pihl: If profit and market mechanisms drive the development of #education and the pupil is viewed only as future labor force, we forget that education is a common good. We reduce the child to a future competitor in the market. #JustEd2018

#JustEd2018 Professor NihadBunar on #exclusion versus #inclusion of immigrant students: “Refugee-only schools or separate classes create false safe havens for #immigrants." – at Helsinki, Finland
