Briefing II: Ending Segregation And Developing Inclusive Education: (10 July 2005)

Summary: Briefing 2, submitted for the Sixth Meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee. This briefing gives examples of inclusive education from countries across the world.

‘The rights of students with disabilities to be educated in their local mainstream school is becoming more and more accepted in most countries and many reforms are being put in place to achieve this goal. Further, there is no reason to segregate disabled students in public education systems. Instead education systems need to be reconsidered to meet the needs of all students.’ (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, 1999)
