Inclusive Pedagogy & Practices

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.
