7th Conference on Contemporary Issues in Education
“The fundamental principle of the
inclusive school is that all children should
    learn together, wherever possible,
regardless of any difficulties or differences
              they may have.”
                (UNESCO, 1994, p. 11).
Inclusive education in Education Queensland:
•fosters a learning community that questions
disadvantage and challenges social injustice
•maximises the educational and social outcomes of all
students through the identification and reduction of
barriers to learning, especially for those who are
vulnerable to marginalisation and exclusion
•ensures all students understand and value diversity so
that they have the knowledge and skills for positive
participation in a just, equitable and democratic global
society.

                 Queensland Government (2005, p. 1)

There is “a lack of uniformity across
Australia in the way in which students with
         disabilities are identified.”
        (Students with Disabilities Working Group, 2010, p. 5).
The Department of Education and Training in
Queensland recognises the following six disability
categories:

•Hearing Impairment

•Vision Impairment
  (Queensland Government, 2012b).

• The Teacher is the Key

• A Whole School Approach to Inclusion

• A Change in Structure

• Consistency For All
“Queensland schools

 are leading innovative improvement
     processes toward inclusion.”
            Aniftos & McLuskie, (n.d., p. 2)




However there is still much to be done…
“All concerned must now rise to the challenge
  and work to ensure that Education for All
effectively means FOR ALL, particularly those
who are most vulnerable and most in need.”
                (UNESCO, 1994, p. iv)
