Inclusive Education – Michael Subbey

In this Inclusive Education book as the title suggests, the author explores, analyses and assesses the inclusive educational systems in the world. His comprehensive knowledge covers and examines the inclusion aspect of the educational structure and the ways students with disabilities are either being made part of the learning process or not; isolated or integrated. Different countries in different continents have varied programmes, strategies and institutions devoted to creating a welcoming environment to meet the learning needs of students with disabilities. In this invaluable material, mention is made of several methods, processes and approaches to the delicate issue of equity in education. The priceless material also covers historical facts, traced way back to the roots of some of the problems faced by many in a world where many children are still left out of the collective schooling policy of inclusive education. Accordingly, this material reports by creating awareness that, some of such unique individuals are not being given the possibility of learning nor the chance to be part of the educational journey which should be a right for everyone and not a privileged few.
