EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION

UNESCO defines inclusive education in its conceptual document (i) as follows: ¨ Inclusion is seen as the process of identifying and responding to the diversity of the needs of all students through greater participation in learning, cultures and communities, and reducing exclusion in education. It involves changes and modifications in content, approaches, structures and strategies, with a common vision that includes all children of the appropriate age range and the conviction that it is the responsibility of the regular system to educate all children ¨

It is based on the principle that each child has different characteristics, interests, abilities and learning needs and should be the educational systems that are designed, and the educational programs put in place, taking into account the wide diversity of these characteristics and needs

It deals with providing relevant responses to the full range of educational needs in pedagogical contexts in schools and extracurricular schools.

Far from being a marginal issue about how some students can be integrated into the mainstream education, it is a method that reflects on how to transform educational systems so that they respond to student diversity. (ii)
