This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth vision of the concept of inclusive education, presenting it as an approach based on the principles of equity, justice, and inclusion. It views human diversity not as an obstacle, but as a rich opportunity for shared learning and collective growth. It is aimed at everyone interested in education, including teachers, parents, researchers, and policymakers, with the goal of offering an integrated scientific reference that combines theory and practice, enhancing their understanding of issues related to inclusion and effective methods for its real-world implementation.
Within these pages, a range of fundamental topics that contribute to understanding inclusive education are presented, starting from the historical development of the concept and its educational and social importance, through the legislative and human rights foundations that support it, to the mechanisms of its implementation within schools. The book also includes a thorough analysis of global and Arab educational policies in the field of inclusion, highlighting effective practices, common obstacles, and the best ways to overcome them.
This book presents comprehensive and integrated concepts about inclusive education, offering a theoretical and practical framework for building an inclusive educational system based on scientific principles, international experiences, and successful classroom practices. The book consists of nine chapters, with each chapter addressing a pivotal aspect of inclusive education as follows:
- Chapter One: The Concept of Inclusive Education - This chapter covers the theoretical and philosophical foundations of inclusive education, explaining its definition, justifications, and the legislative basis it rests on, in addition to comparing it with traditional education, presenting international conventions, its core principles, and the ten-year strategy in this field.
