Definition of Inclusive Education

Inclusion is not a new concept in education it means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighborhood 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.

In Schools

• Drop in marks in one or more subjects• Lack of engagement, connection or involvement with school – for example, your

child might not be interested in extracurricular activities or have very few friends

• Refusal to talk with you about school, or rarely talking about school with family or friends

• Rarely talking about homework• Low confidence or lack of self-esteem – your child might say he is ‘dumb’,

‘stupid’ or not as clever as his friends• Detentions at lunch time or the end of the school day• Excuses not to go to school or skipping school without your knowledge• Attention or behavior problems• Inadequate curriculum• Lack of Motivation in classroom

Conclusion

•Inclusive education responding to special needs will thus have positive returns for all pupils.” All children and young people of the world, with their individual strengths and weaknesses, with their hopes and expectations, have the right to education. It is not our education systems that have a right to a certain type of children. Therefore, it is the school system of a country that must be adjusted to meet the needs of all its children.

That is a big and difficult task, but "where there is a will there is a way!"
