Inclusive education for persons with disabilities – Are we making progress? Background paper prepared for the International Forum on Inclusion and Equity in Education – Every Learner Matters, Cali, Colombia, 11–13 September 2019
All humans have rights – all rights apply to all humans. Persons with disabilities are rights holders and decision-makers in their own lives. Exclusion from services is a violation of an individual’s human rights. Inclusive education is a fundamental right, both a means and an end, for all children, including the most marginalised. It presents an opportunity to build the foundation of an inclusive society, as well as the opportunity to re-imagine and re-juvenate the education system.
