Inclusive Education

DECLARACIÓN DE SALAMANCA DE LA UNESCO 1994 • • Las escuelas comunes con orientación integradora constituyen el medio más efectivo para combatir actitudes discriminatorias, crear comunidades abiertas, construir una sociedad integradora y lograr una educación para todos. Más aún, proveen una educación efectiva para la mayoría de los niños (sin necesidades especiales) y mejoran la eficacia y finalmente el beneficio en cuanto al costo de todo el sistema educativo. Mainstream schools with this inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communities, building an inclusive society and achieving education for all. Moreover, they provide an effective education for the majority of children (without special needs) and improving the efficiency and ultimately the cost effectiveness of the entire education system. 11

RESOLUCIÓN DE LA CONFERENCIA DE SALAMANCA Oct. 2009 • 2. - Entendemos que la educación inclusiva es un proceso en el cual la escuela común o regular y los establecimientos dedicados a la educación se transforman para que todos los niños y niñas/estudiantes reciban los apoyos necesarios para alcanzar sus potenciales académicos y sociales, y que implica eliminar las barreras existentes en el medio físico, actitudes, la comunicación, el currículo, la enseñanza, la socialización y la evaluación en todos los niveles. • 2. We understand inclusive education to be a process where mainstream schools and early years settings are transformed so that all children/students are supported to meet their academic and social potential and involves removing barriers in environment, attitudes, communication, curriculum, teaching, socialisation and assessment at all levels.

Maresa está en la Universidad estudiando Inglés “ Estuve en una escuela especial hasta los 11 años, y luego en una unidad durante 2 años. Nadie aprendió a comunicarse conmigo. Cuando fui a la escuela común fueron las mismas maestras comunes las que decidieron hacer la prueba. Así me gradué en la secundaria. En la Universidad creyeron en mi. Dijeron que podia enviar ensayos para aspirar a la admisiónm en vez de hacer examenes que son agotadores. ” 22
