Study Notes

Inclusive Education

Involves changes in content, approaches, structure, and strategies to provide varied responses to diverse learner needs in formal and informal education settings.
Aims to educate all children, regardless of abilities, ethnic groups, size, age, background, and gender, with a common vision.
Provides opportunities for equal participation of persons with disabilities, while leaving open the possibility of personal choice and options for special assistance and facilities.

Definition of Inclusive Education

According to UNESCO (2009), Inclusive Education (IE) is about putting the right to education into action, respecting diverse learner needs, abilities, and characteristics, and eliminating all forms of discrimination.
It strengthens the capacity of the education system to reach out to all learners, overcoming barriers and increasing participation in learning, cultures, and communities.

Differences between Special, Integrated, and Inclusive Education

Special Education: Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents are instructed in special schools by special teachers.
Regular Education: Regular learners are instructed by regular teachers in a regular school.
Integrated Education: The child is changed to fit the system through therapy and rehabilitation, without changing the system.
Inclusive Education: Different children are instructed regardless of abilities, ethnic groups, size, age, background, and gender, and the system is changed to fit the child.

Key Concepts in Inclusive Education

Equality: Providing the same support to all, assuming everyone will be catered to properly.
Equity: Fairness in every situation, recognizing that each child is different and requires different support.
Liberation: Removal of systematic barriers to create equitable education systems.

Teaching Strategies in Inclusive Education

Accommodations: Changing how learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents learn the same material and meet the same expectations as their age peers.
Modifications: Changing the expectations or the material itself to make it more accessible to learners with diverse needs.
