The principle of inclusive education was adopted at the Salamanca World Conference (UNESCO 1994) where inclusive education was viewed as a human rights issue and as a means of bringing about personal development and building relationships among individuals, groups and nations. This was stated clearly in Article 2: “Regular schools with an inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discrimination, creating welcoming communities, building an inclusive society and achieving education for all.” An inclusive school can be identified by its approach to a number of key variables. in one school that I am familiar with, I have seen evidence of a very welcoming attitude where all children and young people from the local community are welcomed to participate in the full curricular and co-curricular life of the school. The school’s welcoming attitude is underpinned by a system that believes all children and young people belong and should be welcomed and educated in the regular class of their local neighbourhood school. I feel very proud to be associated with such a school.
