INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR DISABLED PERSONS

Early day motion 484, tabled 15 September 2016 by Angela Crawley (Scottish National Party). Signed by 31 members.

That this House supports the UN General Comment of August 2016 backing calls for inclusive education for children and adults with disabilities; acknowledges that inclusive education can provide both quality education and social development for persons with disabilities, and help develop inclusive, peaceful and fair societies; agrees that inclusive education should focus on the full and effective participation, accessibility, attendance and achievement of all students, especially those who are excluded or at risk of being marginalised; and recognises that enabling inclusive education may require in-depth transformation of education systems in legislation, policy and the way education is financed, administered, designed, taught and monitored.
