Thank you for joining us for Education for All: Pathways Towards Increased Inclusion in the Early Years. Please find panelist's presentations under "Learn More Links."
Inclusive education policies and practices improve learning for all children and lead to stronger communities, economies and societies as countries advance on their journeys to self-reliance. This is why the educational development community has increasingly prioritized inclusive education, reflected in the recent USAID education policy and the first ever DFID-hosted Global Disability Summit.
A shared set of best practices and evidence on how to include children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms is needed to improve the ability of all stakeholders, including host-country governments and local partners, to deliver meaningful and sustainable results. Panelists presented and discussed inclusive education research and practices from Kenya, Malawi, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
