Inclusion is a buzzword of the 1990s. Politicians now stress their commitment to inclusion and social justice - not competition. For schools, inclusion means accepting and educating all children, irrespective of their difficulties.
The new inclusive mood is about including everyone in society's institutions. It has created a growing demand for schools to find effective ways of including and teaching all children - even those who at one time would have been sent to special schools.
The book combines a theoretical examination of inclusion and its rationale with the story of a group of schools in which teachers, assistants and children have striven to make inclusion happen.

About the book >.>.> There is a new inclusive mood at large in society. It has created a demand for schools to find ways of including and teaching all children even those who at one time would have been sent to special schools. Society's readiness for inclusion coincides with the accumulation of more and more evidence about the limitations of special education. But although the arguments for inclusive education seem overwhelming ethically and empirically the move to inclusion has been painfully slow.
