    Inclusive education

    Inclusive education was created in the 1990s. It assumes that disabled people are treated as part of the school community, and not as a separate group. All students, regardless of their individual needs and differences, should have equal access to learning and be active members of the school community. As part of inclusive education, people with different abilities, including people with disabilities, study together in one school.
