A missing link for inclusive education
A missing link for inclusive education: The importance of supporting teachers with disabilities to ensure learning for all.
This synthesis is part of a strategic partnership between the Learning Generation Initiative and the What Works Hub for Global Education. The Transforming the Education Workforce report (2019) highlighted that inequities and inclusion in the education workforce are rarely addressed and that this can lead to a workforce that is not representative of the students they serve and not able to fully support inclusive education.
The report called for education systems and the global community to recognize this challenge and ensure that inclusion extends to those supporting students. This synthesis was developed in direct response to that call and builds on the work that has been undertaken by Professor Nidhi Singal since the report was published.
In this synthesis, we aim to illustrate the critical importance of inclusion in the education workforce, and specifically the issue of teachers with disabilities, in ensuring quality education for all.
