Key Message
Real progress towards inclusive education systems can only happen when we recognise, listen to, understand and act on all voices.
Key Principles – Supporting policy development and implementation for inclusive education
We learn best when we learn together.
Highlighting fundamental issues for education systems, the Key Principles series reflects the gradual shift in the Agency’s work over the past 25 years: a shift away from a narrow focus on learners’ special educational needs and special needs education as specific provision, towards extending and improving the quality of support for learning that is generally available to all learners.
