Special and Inclusive

Education
"Inclusive Education is defined as a learning environment that promotes the full personal,
academic and professional development of all learners irrespective of race, class, color,
gender, disability, gender preference, learning styles and language."

Inclusiveness is a vibe or atmosphere that invites people in and

makes them feel welcome. When you make your home a welcoming
environment for all of your friends, family, visitors, and strangers, you
are demonstrating inclusivity. The belief that everyone deserves
equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities is
known as social justice. Equality involves treating people the same
regardless of their requirements, whereas equity stresses meeting
the needs of those who are affluent or underprivileged. Fairness
necessitates that all students, particularly those from poor
backgrounds and those with unique learning needs, receive enough
help so that they can reach their full potential.
