Salamanca Declaration

The Salamanca Declaration, adopted in 1994 by educational leaders worldwide, emphasizes the importance of inclusive, equitable education for all children, especially those with disabilities and special needs. It advocates for integrating diverse learners into mainstream classrooms, promoting access, participation, and quality education. The declaration encourages governments and institutions to develop inclusive policies, provide necessary resources, and ensure teachers are trained to support diverse learners, ultimately aiming to create an education system that respects and accommodates individual differences for better social and learning outcomes.
