Sound Governance and Inclusive Education: A Case of Correctional Service Special School Abakaliki, Nigeria

Abstract

This refers to a more comprehensive governance that includes the normative as well as technical and rational features of good governance and presents a balanced view of governance that is less biased and takes into consideration the genuine features of indigenous governance systems that may be at odd or conflict with the globally dominant neocolonialist power structures. It has all the quality characteristics of governance that is superior to good governance and is sound technically, professionally, organizationally, managerially, politically, democratically, and economically. Sound governance is also sound in terms of capacity and anticipatory behavior; it is democratic in character, responsive, and competent; and its cultural values are embedded in the societal values and structures (Farazmand 2017). Inclusive Education This refers to inclusive and equitable quality basic education for inmates' behavior modification and proper absorption into the society when released and also promotes lifelong learning opportunities for prison inmates' post release life.
