This document discusses the concepts of inclusive and special education. It defines inclusive education as providing educational opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities, in mainstream classrooms through collaboration between teachers, parents, and students. Special education focuses on individualized support and services for students with disabilities, often in separate classrooms or schools. While special education aims to address individual needs, inclusive education emphasizes equal opportunities and social integration for all. The key difference is that inclusive education takes place in regular classrooms, while special education typically uses separate settings with specialized instruction. Both approaches work to realize the goal of education for all students.
