| Summary: | This report describes an experience,
developed jointly by the Uruguayan National Department of
Public Education (ANEP) and the World Bank, of the
implementation of an Inclusive Education component. The goal
is to demonstrate a concrete example of what countries can
do to implement such inclusive education in practice, within
the framework of strategies proposed by the “Education for
All” initiative and the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).This document does not attempt to provide either
details of the conceptual framework or political arguments
for setting the international guidelines of inclusive
education programs, but rather responds to the demand for
practical examples that illustrate an operational strategy.
One of the promising characteristics of the Uruguayan
experience with the implementation of the Inclusive
Education component was that it did not require additional
programs or resources; rather, the process was incorporated
as a new tool within an overall strategy for improving the
quality of education in the country.Although the fact that
the component has only recently been implemented (2003)
prevents an exhaustive study of its results and impact thus
far, publicizing the experience internationally is
justifieddue to the need for documentation of actual
experiences developed on a national scale. It is hoped that
this will allow the public to envisage models for the
implementation of inclusive education. |
