Inclusive Education

1. Inclusive Education is an education that provides access, quality, efficiency, effectiveness, and equal opportunity that addresses the needs of all types of learners regardless of age, sex, race, culture, religion, social status, and disabilities.

2. Inclusive education   means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighbourhood schools in age-appropriate, regular classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school. Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs and activities so that all students learn and participate together. Inclusive education is about ensuring access to quality education for all students by effectively meeting their diverse needs in a way that is responsive, accepting, respectful and supportive. Students participate in the education program in a common learning environment with support to diminish and remove barriers and obstacles that may lead to exclusion.

3. Importance of Inclusive Education Firstly, it ensures that all students have an opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment. Secondly, it prepares students for the real world by teaching them how to work with people of all abilities. Finally, it helps to break down barriers between people with and without disabilities and promotes understanding and acceptance.
