Our vision for inclusive education
Inclusive education means that all students are educated in regular classrooms. It does not mean that individual students cannot leave the classroom for specific reasons. A student may require one-on-one assistance in a particular subject area. When an education system is inclusive, serious thought is given to how often a student may be outside of a regular classroom and the reasons that this may happen. It does not mean that students with certain characteristics are grouped together in separated classrooms for all or part of the school day. Within regular classrooms, opportunities are developed for all students to learn together
even though some students may have different education goals. An inclusive education system does not separate certain students within regular classrooms.
