This publication illustrates why inclusive education for persons with disabilities is a vital aspect of wider inclusive development. The report aims to contribute to the international debate on disability-inclusion in development and to share relevant experiences. This publication covers the ‘why and how’ of inclusive education. It also encourages readers to critically reflect on some of the common pitfalls and gaps holding back the full realisation of inclusive education systems. In addition to discussing inclusive education in both development and humanitarian contexts, the book offers insights into ways of working that may help countries progress from small-scale pilot projects to larger-scale, national, and international solutions to improve the quality and inclusiveness of education.

This publication draws together and analyses information and experiences collected by diverse inclusive education actors over recent decades. It does not present findings from a specific piece of rigorous academic research. The topics presented here are not a formula or blueprint to follow to guarantee successful inclusive education. This publication provides an up-to-date overview of key debates and experiences, and as such is not a step-by-step guide or training manual. However, the book has been structured to make it useful as a supplementary or reference book for future training courses developed by CBM, its partners, or other organisations.
