Inclusive education without adapted materials leaves students with disabilities behind

The report from the Movement for Inclusive Education of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Me-CDPD) addresses the issue of inclusive education and states that simply placing a child with a disability in a regular school is not sufficient to fulfill their right to inclusive education.

The document considers that educational inclusion requires more than the mere physical integration of students with disabilities in regular schools, and that adequate learning conditions must be guaranteed.

The report highlights the need for adapted materials and appropriate conditions so that students with disabilities can effectively benefit from the right to education, otherwise they are excluded from the learning process.

This position from Me-CDPD reinforces the idea that inclusive education must be understood as a right that goes beyond the mere physical presence of students with disabilities in schools, requiring structural and pedagogical changes.
