1. World Education Forum: Incheon Declaration
Focused on the framework for action for SDG 4. Outlines a commitment to “addressing all
forms of exclusion and marginalisation, disparities and inequalities in access, participation
and learning outcomes”; in practice:
• Provides twelve years of free education
• Ensures that access to education and learning is equitable, with a focus on vulnerable
groups
• Ensures that outcomes are relevant and effective and provide the building blocks for
lifelong learning.
2. UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Followed decades of work by the UN to change attitudes and approaches to persons with
disabilities. Aims to shift culture of viewing people with disabilities as “objects” of charity,
medical treatment and social protection to viewing them as “subjects” like anyone else –
people with rights, who are capable of claiming those rights, making decisions and being
active members of society.
3. Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education: 92 countries,
25 international organisations
Calls for major school reform. Recognises the need for and urgency of providing education
for all children, young people and adults “within the regular education system”. That means
that every child has the fundamental right to education and that all children are unique, and
therefore education must consider their diverse needs and characteristics. Children with
“special educational needs” must have access to regular schools as the most effective way of
dealing with discrimination, creating welcoming communities, building an inclusive society
and achieving education for all.
