Abstract
In spite of the term “Inclusive Education” being
more or less accepted globally, there seem to be
some differences in the way the term “inclusion” is
interpreted and practiced. The concept of
inclusive education has emerged as a global
movement to challenge exclusionary policies and
practices and has become an effective approach
to address the learning needs of ALL students in
mainstream schools. In short, ‘inclusion’ refers to
the opportunity for persons with a disability to
participate fully in all of the educational,
employment, consumer, recreational, community
and domestic activities that typify everyday
society. This includes the intellectually disabled as
well. The quest for an acceptable lifestyle for
persons with intellectual disabilities in particular,
has passed many milestones such as the
UNCRPD, the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
