Inclusion and Diversity: Conflicting Questions in Education?

Description

The concept ”A school for all” was coined in the 1980 curriculum of Swedish elementary school. It has its counterparts in other Scandinavian countries. “The spacious school” is used in Denmark, and in Norway, the concept “inclusion” is used to describe the ideal work process of schools (Haug et al, 2006:181). These concepts derive from an overarching ideology based on the right to education of every individual, as stated in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This ideology, often referred to as inclusive education, elaborated in the Salamanca statement (1994), is promoting a high grade of participation, integration and inclusion of all students. The aim of the ongoing PhD project is to contribute to the understanding of inclusive education empirically, by examining the experience of students with physical disabilities, with regard to their perceptions of what an inclusive community is.
