Inclusive Education

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
