Supporting learners with special needs or disabilities through inclusive education RIGA 2 June 2015

Who we are The Agency is a permanent network of ministerial representatives acting as the member countries’ platform for collaboration regarding the promotion of quality and equity in education as a means to achieving social cohesion

The Agency Network National networks in 29 European countries: 26 countries from the European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland

Funding The member countries’ Ministries of Education The European Commission as one of the six organisations supported by the Jean Monnet, Erasmus+ Programme

Focus The Agency’s main focus is upon inclusive education within its widest interpretation – that is dealing with learner difference and diversity in all educational settings as a quality issue. The Agency’s work is essentially concerned with how the achievement of all learners at all levels of inclusive lifelong learning can be improved in a meaningful way that enhances their opportunities for an effective participation in society.

Percentage of pupils in the compulsory school sector recognised as having SEN in 2012 (in all) educational settings < 2.0% 2.01% - 4.0% 4.01% - 6.0% 6.01% - 10.0% > 10% Luxembourg Sweden Austria Greece Italy Poland Portugal Spain UK (England) UK (Wales) Belgium (Fr) Denmark Estonia France Germany Hungary Ireland Latvia Malta Netherlands Switzerland UK (N.I.)

‘Inclusive education is mutually beneficial to us and to the others’ Diversity is positive A clear vision of Inclusive Education as a quality approach for ALL learners’

Inclusive education is the best option if adequate conditions exist

Adequate conditions Sufficient resources Well trained and motivated educational and support staff (teachers, assistants, sign language interpreters, etc) Accessibility of the physical environment and the buildings; accessible technical aids and support Adequate educational support (small class sizes, IEP, adapted exams, etc) Good counselling throughout the school education

Inclusion as systemic change Understood to concern a far wider range of learners vulnerable to exclusion than those identified as having disabilities or SENs Involves a curriculum for all that considers academic and social learning; curriculum goals and implementation should reflect this dual focus Inclusion is a process and not a state; educators will always need to move their work forward to enable the learning and participation of all learners

Horizontal issues that impact on all phases of educational provision Educational assessment systems Teacher education and development Financing systems Continuum of provision for meeting a diversity of learners’ need Monitoring outcomes Within all countries' systems of provision, there are a number of key factors that could be examined systematically using indicators to give a descriptive picture of trends to towards inclusion. These issues can be related to:

Progress and Opportunities: Infrastructure A re-focussing of the role of special schools as a resource for the mainstream sector Improving frameworks and structures of provision –changes aim towards improvements and capacity building within mainstream provision Promoting specific tools and approaches within provision – i.e. the implementation of Individual Education Plans and personalised learning approaches End user participation in local decision-making ‘Inter’-disciplinary support structures
