Salamanca Statement

The Salamanca Statement, adopted in 1994, is an international agreement emphasizing the importance of inclusive education for all, particularly students with special needs. It highlights the need to integrate these students into regular schools and classrooms, promoting their right to learn alongside their peers. The statement encourages governments and educators to develop policies and resources that support inclusive education, ensuring equal opportunities, removing barriers, and fostering a welcoming environment for diverse learners. Its goal is to build an education system that respects and recognizes individual differences, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.
