If the right to education for all is to become a reality, all learners must have access to quality education that meets basic learning needs and enriches lives. The UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education (1960) and other international human rights treaties prohibit any exclusion from or limitation to educational opportunities on the basis of socially ascribed or perceived differences, such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity, language, religion, nationality, economic condition and/or ability. Education should not be simply about making schools available for those who are already able to access them. Instead, it is about being proactive in identifying the barriers and obstacles learners encounter in attempting to access equal opportunities for quality education, as well as in removing those barriers and obstacles that lead 49 to marginalization and exclusion. Education systems should be made inclusive and equitable; that is, every child and young person should have access to education that is welcoming and responsive to his or her characteristics and needs (UNESCO, 2012). Monitoring student progress with learning trackers (observation logs, observation forms, conferring logs, etc.) provides the teacher with data, e.g., the degree to which the student has mastered a learning target, who needs retouching, who needs additional challenges, what the next learning target should be, how students should be grouped for small-group instruction, and who needs to be observed more closely for a possible learning intervention. The existing research does indicate, however, that well-designed classroom testing programs bear a positive relationship to later student achievement.

Children with disabilities suffer disproportionately from the learning crisis. Although they represent only about 1.5% to 5% of the child population, they comprise more than half of out-of-school children globally. Inspired by a commitment that every child has the right to quality education, a growing global drive for inclusive education promotes an education system where children with disabilities receive an appropriate and high-quality education that is delivered alongside their peers. The global commitment to inclusive education is captured in the Sustainable Development Goal 4—ensuring inclusive and equitable education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. This paper explores inclusive education for children with disabilities in Mongolia’s mainstream education system, based on a 2019 survey of more than 5,000 households; interviews with teachers, school administrators, education ministry officials, and social workers; and visits to schools and kindergartens in four provinces and one district of the capital city. Mongolia has developed a strong legal and policy framework for inclusive education aligned with international best practice, but implementation and capacity are lagging. This is illustrated using four indicators of inclusive education: inclusive culture, inclusive policies, inclusive practices, and inclusive physical environments. The conclusion presents a matrix of recommendations for government and education sector development partners.

A large number of laws and policies that guarantee all children (regardless of differences and specifics) the right to quality education and equal opportunities for development have been adopted to bring the education system in line with European standards. One of these projects is inclusive education. Inclusive education means that schools and kindergartens should accept all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic and other characteristics. Teachers and educators in schools and kindergartens should nurture an inclusive culture and by their behavior provide examples and models of implementing inclusion in groups. The paper presents the attitudes of teachers and educators on the application of inclusion, which clearly shows their similarities and differences.

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.

This paper aims to examine the implementation of inclusive character education for Children with pecial Needs (ABK) in regular schools. In learning, ABK children have different characters and modalities with normal learners. To that end, approaches, methods, techniques, and learning tactics need to be tailored to the learning needs to be meaningfully appropriate to the students' ABK. Permendiknas Number 70 of 2009 on Inclusive Education aims to provide the widest opportunity to all learners who have physical, emotional, mental and social abnormalities or have the potential of intelligence and / or special talents to obtain quality education according to their needs and abilities. Inclusive character education can be realized by actualizing the value of the wombs characterized by child-friendly learning. Implementation of inclusive character education in regular schools is characterized by child-friendly learning, empathy, learner-centered learning, and pursuit according to the learning needs of learners. Schools need to assess the needs of learners, complement the ABK-based sarpras and accessible child-friendly schools. Thus the curriculum, learning, interaction, and assessment of learning will be tailored to the needs of learners with special needs. This is the true value of the character, the learning that respects the learners.

Given that India is a fast-developing country, education can play a transformative role in societal change in the country. However, disparities continue persist in access to education, provisioning of quality education. This has been reiterated and manifested even in recently declared SDGs with specific reference to SDG 4. SDG 4 recognizes the need for inclusive education to drive the change. This chapter highlights the role and importance of OERs in transforming the education and making it more inclusive. More importantly, OERs can play significant role in bridging the digital divide in the country by imparting access to education to both haves and have-nots. The chapter in this context focuses on comprehending the challenges, prospects, and finest practices connected with Indian Open Educational Resources (OER) initiatives. This chapter will also address some of the relevant queries or questions such as, ‘Why do Indian university, college, and school educators adopt—or are reluctant to adopt—OER?'

The right to education is one of the fundamental human rights which enables personal development, independence, and full participation in all spheres of life. Article 70 of the Polish Constitution grants everyone the right to education and obliges public authorities to ensure universal and equal access to education for all citizens. By ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Poland recognized the right of this group of people to education and committed itself to ensuring an inclusive education system enabling integration at all levels of education. Poland has also ensured that these people will have access to universal higher education without discrimination, based on the principle of equality. Since 2008 the Office of Persons with Disabilities has been functioning in the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, which supports disabled students and PhD students of our University. The development of the Office over the period of more than ten years, applied procedures, and support systems are described in the article. Additionally, selected programmes and projects of the Institution and external organizations will be presented alongside the Office of Persons with Disabilities as the leading and supportive institution.

Inclusion is not an experiment to be tested but a value to be followed. All the children whether they are disabled or not have the right to education as they are the future citizens of the country. In the prevailing Indian situation resources are insufficient even to provide quality mainstream schools for common children, it is unethical and impracticable to put children with special needs to test or to prove any thing in a research study to live and learn in the mainstream of school and community. Inclusive education (IE) is a new approach towards educating the children with disability and learning difficulties with that of normal ones within the same roof. It seeks to address the learning needs of all children with a specific focus on those who are vulnerable to marginalization and exclusion. It implies all learners – with or without disabilities being able to learn together through access to common pre-school provisions, schools and community educational setting with an appropriate network of support services. This is possible only in flexible education system that assimilates the needs of diverse range of learners and adapts itself to meet these needs
