Study Notes

What is Inclusive Education?

Inclusive education aims to educate all learners, regardless of their abilities, disabilities, cultural background, or socioeconomic status.
It encompasses education for gifted and talented children, learners with disabilities, learners in the Madrasa curriculum, Indigenous Peoples, and learners in difficult circumstances.
Learners in different circumstances may face challenges due to geographical location, chronic illness, abuse, or displacement caused by armed conflict, resettlement, or disaster.

Philosophical Basis of Inclusive Education

The philosophical basis of inclusive education recognizes that all individuals are created in the image of God and therefore possess inherent dignity and worth.

Legal Basis of Inclusive Education

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1946) states that everyone has the right to education.
The Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (UN International Convention, 1979) emphasizes the right to education for women.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) specifically states that every child has a right to education without discrimination.
The World Declaration on Education for All (EFA), Jomtien, Thailand (1990) aims to meet the learning needs of all children, youth, and adults.
The Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action (1994) emphasizes that schools should accommodate all children, regardless of their differences.
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) underlines the right of indigenous individuals, particularly children, to access all levels of education in their own culture and language, free from discrimination.
