Abstract

In this article, the author argues that poverty and educational exclusion are multidimensional. According to the author, the two concepts require a multisectoral and multilevel approach in education if the most vulnerable sectors of society are to benefit from initiatives to turn exclusion into inclusion. She argues that not all education contributes to poverty reduction. She outlines the multidimensional nature of poverty, followed by some evidence of the relationship between poverty and marginalized social groups and how the consequences of poverty create a continuous cycle of educational disadvantage.
