3. Putting policy into practice

The case study which follows is from the Global Monitoring Report, (UNESCO, 2020), (https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000373718) which focused on inclusion. The overall conclusion was that there is still a considerable way to go to ensure inclusive education for all. However, the report has numerous examples of inspiring practice from around the world. In Activity 2.2 you will watch a short video about a programme supporting inclusive education and reflect not only on the importance of policy, but also how attitudes towards supporting change have themselves changed and evolved.

Allow approximately 20 mins for this activity.
