I am an Includer

PROJECT: Mobility of Pupils
TARGET GROUP: Primary & Secondary School Students

Education is not a privilege, but a right of every student.

When a school practices inclusive education, all students, including those with disabilities, are welcomed and given the tools they need to succeed. When schools work to develop a culture that embraces variety and focuses on each student’s abilities, inclusion is most successful. It also means allowing all students to attend general or regular schools without discrimination. The process of inclusion involves recognizing and meeting the various needs of every student through boosting engagement in class and lowering exclusion rates. In the simplest words, inclusion in education refers to ensuring that every student has equal access to learning and the same possibilities to succeed, regardless of their unique requirements or learning obstacles.
