What is inclusive education?
UNESCO defines inclusive education as a transformative process that ensures full participation and access to quality learning opportunities for all children, young people, and adults, respecting and valuing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in and through education. Many learners, in particular children with disabilities, face numerous barriers (present both within and outside the education system) to access and thrive in education, including in humanitarian settings. To achieve inclusive quality education, these barriers must be comprehensively addressed, as the education system needs to be transformed and adapted to respond to the needs of every learner. Recognizing the ongoing humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), inclusive education in humanitarian contexts means ensuring that all learners, including children with disabilities, receive the necessary support and accommodations to facilitate continuity of education.
