INCLUSION IN THE UAE

48th session of the International Conference on Education

"Children that learn together, learn to live together."

The Federal Law No. 29 of year 2006 on the Rights of People with Special Needs guarantees:

"...the person with special needs access to equal opportunities of education within all educational institutions...

Special education students must have a feeling of belonging among other students, teachers, and support staff.

Article 13 of the same law states:

"The Ministry of Education ... shall be committed... to secure the complete participation of students having special needs."

Something wonderful is happening to children throughout the United Arab Emirates:

They are learning that all people are entitled to equal opportunities.

They are learning to understand, respect, and appreciate people with physical or intellectual differences.

Their lessons are coming not from textbooks, but from real-life, everyday experiences.

Inclusive education means that all students in a school, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses in any area,

become part of the school community
