The Salamanca Statement

The Salamanca Statement, adopted in 1994 by UNESCO, is an international agreement that emphasizes the importance of inclusive and equitable quality education for all children, especially those with special needs. It encourages governments and educators to develop systems that integrate students of diverse abilities into mainstream schools, promoting understanding and acceptance. The statement aims to ensure that every learner receives appropriate support and opportunities to reach their full potential, fostering respect for diversity and inclusion within education environments globally.
