I chose this topic because it gives me the opportunity to know more how schools are trying to provide a safe learning environment.

Refining the Question: Firstly, I decided to research the extent discrimination against religious freedom affect people from Middle Eastern countries in Australia after 9/11.Then I changed my mind as I would like to know more about what South Australian schools are doing to prevent discrimination and provide a safe learning environment for the Asian students.

Schools are a reflection of the society that feeds into them. The attitudes of students to race and diversity are a direct result of the attitudes those students bring with them from home and other social environments such as sporting clubs.

Inclusion is often thought to be the location of your education but is more often than not about the quality of one’s education. The location has little to do with inclusion but more to do with where you feel you belong, some SEN children feel they cannot truly belong in a large mainstream school (Campbell, 2005).
