Inclusive Education - are you brave enough?
Session Summary:
Using up to the minute, international data I shall pose challenging questions around the notion of what true, Inclusive Education actually is, challenge what it is not, asking whether the future of education is indeed inclusive and…. is inclusion actually just a palatable definition of SEND?
Considering the vision for truly inclusive education, the discussion will leave the operational aspects behind to really explore the issues, the challenges and opportunities, setting the agenda as we all move ahead.
