This rapid review synthesises evidence and literatures on the key elements of successful implementation of inclusive education.
This rapid review synthesises evidence and literatures on the key elements of successful implementation of inclusive education. This includes a clear concept and definition of inclusive education. Second element is concrete inclusive education targets, indicators, measures, and outcomes. Third, an understanding of existing structural, educational, and cultural challenges to successful implementation. Fourth, a well-designed implementation strategy that includes a clear plan, evaluation, and school review process. Fifth, providing inclusive education training, sustained support, and resources for all teachers and school leaders. Final element is national leadership on inclusive education policy, education management information systems, curricular-reform, and coordinating social systems such as inclusive education and inclusive employment. In addition to this, this review also identifies that inclusive education is a continuous process of educational transformation, and a clear set of equity indicators – such as from UNESCO (2017) – can support inclusive education implementation

UNESCO explains why inclusion in education is essential for achieving the right to education for all learners, especially the most marginalized and vulnerable groups. It also highlights the factors that hinder inclusion, such as poverty, language, disability, migration and Covid-19, and the ways to overcome them.
Inclusion in education. Leaving no learner behind. UNESCO believes that every learner matters equally. Yet millions of people worldwide continue to be excluded from education for reasons which might include gender, sexual orientation, ethnic or social origin, language, religion, nationality, economic condition or ability.
