4. The Salamanca continue.. They agreed a dynamic new statement on the education of all disable children, which called for inclusion to be the norm. In addition, the conference adopted a new framework for action, the guiding principle which is that, ordinary schools should accommodate all children, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other conditions. Thus, all educational policies should stipulate that disabled children attend the neighbourhood school that would be attended if the child did not have a disability. MSN MBEELI

7. Salamanca continue... The statement begins with a commitment to Education For All [EFA], recognizing the necessity and urgency of providing education for all children, young people and adults within the regular ‘normal’ education system. This is because regular schools with inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communities, building an inclusive society and achieving education for all. Moreover, they provide an effective education to the majority of children and improve the efficiency and ultimately cost effectiveness of the entire education system. MSN MBEELI

8. Salamanca [UNESCO task] Ensure that special needs education forms part of every discussion dealing with education for all. Enhance teacher education in this field by getting support from teacher unions and associations Stimulate the academic community to do more research and disseminate findings. Expand programs on inclusive schools and community support projects MSN MBEELI

9. Salamanca [Equalization of opportunities] Framework for action says, ‘inclusion and participation are essential to human dignity and to the enjoyment and exercise of human rights’. Special needs education incorporates proven methods of teaching from which all children can benefit. It assumes human differences are normal and that learning must be adapted to the needs of the child , rather than the child fitted to the process. Thus, all children should learn together, where possible, and schools should recognize and respond to individual needs Inclusive schools are the most effective at building solidarity between children with special needs and their peers. Therefore, Inclusive school should be built rather than Special schools. MSN MBEELI
