summary... All children have the right to education. This has to ensured in as many as possible preschool, primary and secondary schools. Teachers and schools need to adjust their work in order to meet the needs of students. Some children, due to disability or learning difficulty, need additional help. This is a new way of thinking. Many countries have invested in special schooling of children with disabilities, learning difficulties or other special needs. The move towards inclusive education means that their efforts will be redirected also towards supporting the children in mainstream education and finding new ways of advising and guiding teachers in regular schools.
