Inclusive education is concerned with providing appropriate responses to the broad spectrum of
learning needs in formal and non-formal educational settings. Rather than being a marginal theme,
inclusive education is an approach that looks into h ow to transform education systems in order to
respond to the diversity of learners. It aims to enable both teachers and learners to feel comfortable
with diversity and to see it as a challenge and enrichment in the learning environment, rather than
a problem.
While inclusive education has been more often addressed with issues on ethnic minority,
disabilities, marginalized groups, and poverty, it is also a fundamental factor to achieve quality
education ensuring excellence for all, which is one of six goals in Education for All. As mentioned
above, embracing the diversity of each learner is its core concept which is essential to ensure
access for those excluded from education as well as to develop the potential and talent of every
learner.
