CURRICULUM APPROACH
SEGREGATION
An education system for ‘normal’
children (round pegs); and a
different system for ‘special needs’
children (square pegs).
INTEGRATION
Trying to change children so they fit
into the ‘regular’ system (making
square pegs fit into round holes).
The system stays the same. The child
must adapt or fail.
INCLUSION
All children are different and all can
learn – we change the system to
accommodate everyone and achieve
education for all.
