Inclusive education

“The full and effective participation, accessibility, attendance and achievement of all students, especially those who, for different reasons, are excluded or at risk of being marginalized”

• Inclusive education with a broader meaning, encompassing all learners and

groups vulnerable to exclusion from education

• Inclusive education as a process; a means not an end
• Exclusion as a universal phenomenon
• Mechanisms of exclusion are common and structural to all, regardless of group
• Not restricted to where education takes place but involves a range of elements

that form educational experiences and outcomes
