Principles of Promoting Quality in Inclusive Education

In every classroom there are some children who have some learning problems. They need a little extra help from teachers to learn. Inclusive education refers to instruction that is specially designed to meet the needs of the exceptional children. It involves designing the physical environment in the classroom (use of ramps) teaching procedures, teaching content and equipment for a particular type of disability. In this case its implementation is not an easy task; it needs thorough investigation, understanding its aims and principles and taking consistent and appropriate measures to make it successful. Schools are currently undergoing a process of reconstructed educational practice and thinking. The key principles presented in this section centre upon aspects of educational systems, to be crucial in promoting quality in inclusive education and supporting the learners with different types of special educational needs (SEN). These aspects range from national legislation to school level, each of which must be considered within policy frameworks for promoting quality in the inclusive education. Seven inter-connected areas of key principles are presented in detail along with specific recommendations that appear to be necessary for their effective implementation. The ultimate goal of these key principles is to promote participation in inclusive education by ensuring quality educational provision. With this in mind, the key principles are widening participation, Education and training; Organizational culture, Support Structures, Flexible resourcing system, Policies and Legislation can be seen to work towards this goal.
