Fostering Support and Inclusive Classroom Engagement

Around the world, some 93 million children face the reality of living with a disability every day. These children, like all others, have ambitions and dreams for their future. The fundamental belief is that every child, regardless of background, identity, or family circumstances, deserves a quality education. The concept and implementation of inclusive education has gained considerable traction in recent times. Internationally, there is a growing understanding of inclusive education as a comprehensive reform that embraces and celebrates diversity among students. The call for inclusive education becomes particularly strong when the 93 million children with disabilities worldwide are considered. The need for quality education that nurtures their skills and unleashes their full potential is emphasised. However, promoting inclusive education systems is both an urgent need and a formidable challenge across Europe. Inclusive education, based on a rights-based approach, strives to provide equal learning opportunities for all students. The focus of support systems is not limited to specific target groups. Instead, they aim to strengthen the capacity of schools to respond to the diverse needs of each pupil. Inclusive education goes beyond the simple physical placement of pupils with special educational needs in mainstream classes, commonly known as ‘mainstreaming’. It aspires to create a barrier-free learning environment that accommodates each individual’s unique differences. Benefits accrue from inclusive classrooms, where students with and without disabilities thrive together. Benefits include greater academic achievement in literacy, math and social studies, improved communication and social skills, reduced absenteeism, reduced disruptive behaviour and increased motivation to learn and work. Beyond these tangible outcomes, inclusive classrooms foster a sense of camaraderie and acceptance, ultimately contributing to a more enriching and rewarding learning experience.
