Motto: "All human beings are born free and equal in their dignity and their rights."
(the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
The concept of Inclusive Education is based on the principle of children’s equal rights concerning the education no matter of their social or cultural environment, religion, ethnicity and spoken language.
The Inclusive Education represents the school's central intellectual purpose to be able to answer to a great diversity of students, especially to those with disabilities. Assuming that every student has his own characteristics, concerns, abilities and needs of learning , all his rights concerning the education have to get to his social integration and to an individual development, to a cultural and spiritual development too.
The incorporation of th
ese students with disabilities in the group represents one of the most difficult psycho-pedagogical problems, because of the many issues that this problem raises, issues as: the possibilities of development, the effects they have upon their class-mates, different conditions in the organization of classes, a different evaluation. The school's goals should apply to all students, while the means to these goals will vary as those students themselves vary.
Many times the educational integration is completed when the child with disabilities is transferred from a special school to a common one. Completing the forms will not take to the immediate acceptance of the students with disabilities as valuable members of the group.
“Inclusive” also represents the capacity of the group to form a unity of its members, normal or “inclusive”.The main issue is not how the student with disabilities adapts to the group, but it is important for the group to be available to these students.
The inclusive school represents a further step in the process of reducing the educational barriers between common children and the ones with disabilities. The paradigm of the Inclusive school proposes that the “traditional curriculum” be changed with the student centered curriculum, which has to improve the student’s potential of learning and not the general aims and objectives. The student with disabilities has to have the contentment of learning for his own.
The real image of “School for all” must be promoted and students, parents and teachers from common schools have to become aware of the necessity and the advantages of the integration of these children in the common educational system.
