“…The effort to define social justice began very early since great theorists and philosophers Platon, Aristotle, Marx, and Locke struggled to perceive thorough analysis of virtues such as freedom, democracy, and equal rights (Turhan, 2010). In the field of psychology, social justice has gained a more "communitarian" approach, which claims that the balance between "what is required," "what is deserved," and "what is equivalent" depends on human relationships within society (Rentzi, 2023). In other words, theorists agree that social justice is a dynamic process based on human relationships (Miller, 1999;Spreight & Vera, 2004).…”

“…On the other hand, Gerwitz (1998) connected social justice with equality, presenting three versions: "equality of opportunity," "equality of outcome," and "equality of position." In particular, as Rentzi (2018Rentzi ( , 2021 explains: a) "Equality of opportunity" refers to equal access to social goods (i.e., education), b) "Equality of outcome" is based on affirmative policies that diminish social marginalization and create equal opportunities for social success (i.e., in education, at work), c) "Equality of position" refers to the creation of equal living conditions for all human beings regardless of gender, nationality, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, and gender identification.…”

“…Many years ago, a historical review of the term "social justice" was given by Griffiths (1998), stating that, during the 70s and 80s, it changed from having a social meaning to including race and gender equality. As Rentzi (2023) states, in the 90s, "social justice" as a term expanded, covering the topics of disability and sexuality. Gerwitz (1998) clarified the topic of "justice" by separating it into two forms: the "distributive" and "relational" ones (Rentzi, 2023).…”

Moreover, it is pointed out that the term should not remain in its narrow sense as a fair distribution of goods in a society, but it should expand to all types of institutional rules and relationships (Gerwitz, 1998).…”

During the 21st century, major social changes have occurred, such as technological development and the COVID-19 pandemic, along with war conflicts and economic crises, which have created refugee and migration flows. In addition, globally, by promoting social justice, efforts are made to combat any kind of discrimination and exclusion related to race, religion, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identification. School is an organization alive and open to society, affected by every social change. Within this organization, the citizens of the future are formed. Social justice in school education contributes significantly to this, as it is a process in which teachers and students actively contribute to the formation of a democratic, inclusive environment. This study presents the theoretical approaches of social justice in education, emphasizing, however, the critical multicultural theory, as it delves into finding the most effective ways to eliminate social inequalities and exclusion.

“…As Zigmond 2 reported, school inclusion is characterized by all those practices that will help in the effective co-education of children of typical development together with children with special educational needs and disabilities.

In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic appeared, due to which strict health measures were announced by the World Health Organization around the world. Among these health measures were the strict adherence to hygiene, the use of a protective mask and social isolation. These measures were, immediately, implemented in schools worldwide. School, after all, is a living social system, which is included in the wider society and interacts with it. For this reason, every important social phenomenon that brings about changes in the way of life of humanity (pandemic, war, etc.), directly affects the school environment, forcing its adaptation to them. Therefore, schools in Greece implemented distance education for all the students, during the 2020-21 school year, applying inclusive distance education practices for children with special educational needs and disabilities. In Greek schools, children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder belong in the category of “students with special educational needs”. Unfortunately, as proven by research, COVID-19 had a negative impact on children, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, having affected children’s behavior to such an extent that great difficulties are observed in their adapting to the social conditions of school. Because of these results, inclusive pedagogical practices are formed in Greek public primary education to help these children adjust into the school learning environment. This theoretical study will document the above facts and will, also, present these practices.

Although social justice is an old concept, practical applications of it in education are relatively new and highly dependent on contextual variables, just as social justice leadership. Social justice leadership has been fostered by various distinctive factors in western and eastern societies. From this point of view, the authors attempt to compare Greek and Turkish school principals’ social justice leadership to reveal the similarities and differences between them. In this qualitative case study, 12 principals in total from Greece and Turkey were interviewed through in-depth semi-structured interview questions. Comparative analysis was employed to identify the similarities and differences between principals’ practices, internal and external social justice leadership resources, supports and hindrances. The results show that while the principals adopt universal social justice principles, they also use their own methods because of their schools’ contexts and their life experiences.
