Since 1989, the region has been trying to overcome this heavy legacy and shift towards a rights-based approach to education, often with the support of international organizations. Laws and policies have embraced a broader concept of inclusion. Teacher education and professional development programmes are being revised or restructured. Yet progress is uneven. Many changes are happening on paper, while deep-held beliefs and actual practices remain little altered.

The policy framework aims to be applicable to all countries’ contexts. It is open-source, so users can adapt it to their respective contexts. Users may use the policy framework to:

• contribute to and offer a basis for developing new policies aimed at leadership practice;
• support the review and further development of existing policies and policy frameworks;
• spark self-reflection.

The compendium is structured around the  following four subthemes and the  overarching  questions  of  how  education  systems  can  integrate  AI  to  support  the  learning  and  well-being  of   diverse   populations   and   how   this   integration   can   lead   to   better   social   outcomes,   inclusive   and   equitable   q

Three key questions guide the project activities:

Teacher professional learning for inclusion covers the education of teachers working in schools (i.e. initial teacher education, induction, continuing professional development), leadership for inclusive education and the professional development of teacher educators working in tertiary education. This entails preparing all teachers in all teaching roles for inclusive education.
