Each Child Is An Individual: Welcoming And Nurturing Environment In An Inclusive Education Class

Rosario M. Gatmaitan

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Extensive research has been devoted to the notion of inclusion, which requires educational systems to integrate the structure into their programs, curricula, and other means of capacity development (UNESCO, 2019). States implement inclusive education (IE) in response to the increasing diversity that is being witnessed within educational communities. The principle of ensuring equitable classroom experiences for all students is profoundly embedded within it, and it additionally eliminates prejudiced and exclusive attitudes and values. Inclusive education which is based on distinct ideologies from special education, may provide an alternative education for children with special educational needs and impairments. The primary objective is to provide a comprehensive framework and criteria for regulations, procedures, and pedagogical approaches that will facilitate the provision of a high-quality education to all children with special needs and disabilities (Hornby, 2018).
