O presente artigo teve por objetivo, realizar uma breve exposição acerca da história das pessoas/estudantes com deficiência, para entender os “reflexos” no campo educacional, assim como, levantar a importância trazida através da garantia de Direitos tangentes a essa população, até então, antes esquecida. Atualmente, a Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva é respaldada através de leis, documentos internacionais e políticas voltadas à inclusão, que subsidiarão o texto do referido artigo e que respaldam, tanto o acesso como a permanência de estudantes com deficiência. Entender a história das pessoas/estudantes com deficiência, ao longo dos tempos, torna-se valoroso, pois, as lutas e a garantia dos seus direitos “provocam” possibilidades de mudanças para o contexto educacional de uma forma geral. Afinal, TODOS possuem o direito à educação, mediante a qualidade de ensino, que foi por muito tempo, negada à grande parte da população.Pessoas com Deficiência. Educação Especial. Educação Inclusiva.

For far too long, in all parts of the world, the most vulnerable members of society have been excluded from schools. All children, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic, or other conditions, including disabled and gifted children, have the right to education and the relevant pedagogy of inclusion. The teaching methods used should accommodate all members of the society. People who are planning the teaching strategies should also know that people learn better when they do things. The purpose of this chapter is to determine how the theory of constructionism can be applied in the teaching and learning of students in the inclusive education. Information collected from literature on teaching and learning in inclusive education is critically analyzed through the theory of constructionism. Various theorists found that constructionism is relevant to an inclusive classroom since it encourages learning by doing.

Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) has witnessed a significant improvement in primary education in Odisha; thanks to the Right to Education (RTE) Act and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) initiative. While Odisha lags behind the better performing states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu& Maharashtra in terms of infrastructure and enrolment, the overall quality remains dismal as per the independent survey of Annual Status of Education Reports (ASER). The paper brings out how an extremely alienated section of the society receives the tender care of inclusive education and empowerment in a centre called Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) in Odisha, which can form a templates for emulate, all over the country. The paper laments the tendency to outsource, basic education, which is a merit good, to the private sector, which can at best cater to the needy of the affluent few. There is a need to significantly bolster public allocation to primary education, invest it with the highest priority for capability development in future to improve India’s HDI. The quest for high growth rates, must give way to inclusive growth, which puts a premium on public investment quality teaching through suitable training, pedagogical training, IT familiarity of the teachers

The present theoretical-argumentative research is aimed to put in evidence the Italian perspective on the use of technologies for promoting inclusion in school contexts. In a society which uses technological innovations and multimediality in all the domains of everyday life, indeed, school is required to explore the potential and meaning of educational technologies. During the last years, in light of these new requirements, national and international educational policies have tried to take advantage of the opportunities offered by new technologies to create flexible educational pathways so as to ensure equal access to information and learning processes, by promoting the elimination of all barriers that deny students the right to education. In the perspective of inclusive education, technologies within the educational field can't only represent a compensatory tool to support students with disabilities or with learning difficulties, but they also definitely play a very important role in the reconfiguration of learning environments by creating the necessary conditions for the promotion of each student's differences and abilities.

This article examines the rights of persons with disabilities in the field of inclusive education based on fundamental human rights outlined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Inclusive education is essential to achieve universal respect for the right to education, including persons with disabilities. Only inclusive education systems can offer persons with disabilities both quality education and the opportunity to improve their social situation. Inclusive education is not just about placing students with disabilities in mainstream educational institutions; it also means making them feel welcome, respected and valued. The values that underlie the concept of inclusive education reinforce the capacity of everyone to achieve their goals and to conceive of diversity as a source of enrichment. Students with disabilities need appropriate support to participate in the education system on an equal basis with other students. Ordinary educational institutions must provide students with disabilities with a learning environment that maximizes academic progress and socialization.

AbstractThis article is devoted to the analysis of the situation regarding the education of Roma children in Albania and Belarus, evidencing the similarities and differences in legislation and policies in both countries, aiming at highlighting the best practices for each state. The study also analyses whether there is any real approach for inclu­sive education, despite the legislation in force in both countries, as well as evaluating the next steps to be followed for achieving inclusive education for Roma children, whether as part of a minority group or not. Inclusive education is the main focus of those European policies and legislation that guarantees the right to education to everyone. Vulnerability and marginalization are present in all countries. Even the more developed societies have categories of their population that are defined as vulnerable or marginalized. They may not suffer from poverty, but other factors, such as disability or linguistic/ethnic particularities can be sources of marginalization and underachievement. Every human being is different. Because of this diversity, the law should find ways of treating everybody as equal, and with the same access to education and to every other human right. One of the main causes of discrimination and lack of access to education is being a member of a minority group, especially those ones which are not fully recognised as national minorities, such as the Roma. After the fall of communism in Albania, the transitional period towards a democratic system affected the right to education for Roma children, making them suffer from a lack of access to education. The same is reflected in Belarus, where the right to education for Roma children is more protected by non-governmental organizations rather than the state. Treating Roma children with equal access to education will not only help this marginalized group, but also the whole of society by accepting the differences as a normal phenomenon.

The right to education is indispensable in unlocking other substantive human rights and in ensuring full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in mainstream society. The cornerstone of Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities seeks to ensure access to inclusive education for persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others as well as the full development of human potential. Since the adoption of the Convention, there has been much theorising about inclusive education; however, there has been little focus on the meaning of equality in the context of the right to education for persons with disabilities. The capability approach, developed by Amartya Sen and further refined by Martha Nussbaum, focuses on ensuring equality and developing human potential. It is often viewed as a tool that can be used to overcome the limitations of traditional equality assessments in the educational sphere, which only measure resources and outcomes. This article explores whether the capability approach can offer new insights into the vision of educational equality contained in the Convention and how that vision can be implemented at the national level.

This chapter examines the right to inclusive education. It explains how the CRPD has incorporated the goal of inclusive education into international human rights law and what it expects from States Parties for the realisation of the right to inclusive education. It subsequently explores the Convention’s new emphasis on the right to education while looking at the measures to be adopted in order to achieve inclusive education. It continues by examining the renewed commitment to inclusiveness with regard to education in the field of international human rights law. The chapter upholds that inclusive education is universal and that the right to inclusive education applies to all children alike even if it has disability-specific aspects. It finally investigates what this right actually means for education systems as well as the remaining challenges in its implementation.

Abstract One of the major challenges facing special and general education teachers and parents in Guyana is the current educational move towards inclusion. This move has been characterized by the changing political and economic systems which have resulted in inclusion gaining increased momentum in many circles including major organizations, institutions, and even among members of civil society. Inclusion has also been touted as the prelude to meaningful political, economic, social, educational, religious, and cultural engagement in governance and other decision making processes in Guyana. The concept hinges on the right to participate and become involved in various activities regardless of ability or disability. The Jomtien Declaration (1990) which was adopted by the World Conference on Education for All in Thailand in March 1990, mandates the removal of barriers to education for all children. The declaration also affirms the right to education for every individual as well as equal access for all categories of persons with disabilities (United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), 1990). While the main pillar of the declaration is the right to education, it also mandates the removal of barriers that would prevent equal learning opportunities for vulnerable and marginalized groups (UNESCO, 1990). This paper examines issues relevant to inclusion and the education of children with learning disabilities in Guyana. The author gives an account of the political system, inclusive education, and legislation for persons with disabilities, and highlights the challenges faced by teachers in educating children with learning disabilities in Guyana.
