Week-1
Comparison between inclusive and special education
According to me, the idea of inclusive education is different from special education
because special education refers to the system, which supports the children suffering from
disabilities and it helps in providing education to them. This facility is available to them outside
the mainstream location where the schools are located. The following concept is only oriented to
charity rather it also provides few opportunities for children who are participating. It is especially
built for those children who are visually impaired (Sternlicht, 2018). Under this concept,
effectiveness of teachers is restricted to the class. In this system of education, teachings are
given in separate surroundings therefore children are supposed to live away from their family
members. In this case, they find it hard to adjust without family, peer, community because these
schools of training education are not situated in the nearest surroundings . (Reynolds,
Vannest, & Janzen, 2018). On the other hand, I analyzed that in inclusive education, everyone
who are in need of special education are educated and trained in schools with their peers and
group of nondisabled individuals. Inclusive education commits to remove various obstacles by
ensuring full participation of all individuals. The cost of this inclusive education is less than
special education because normal atmosphere is given to every children and it is a cost effective
method.
In my opinion, inclusive education system is also different from special education system
in the area of cost effectiveness because the focus of inclusive education system is an overall
effectiveness of education and it also suggests that effectiveness of the teachers is included in all
procedures of learning (Zanazzi, 2018). In the special system, plans are made according to the
abilities of the students but in inclusive overall official preparations are made. In inclusive
education, all students are welcomed from the neighbourhood school but in special education
only children with special needs are educated and trained. Inclusion education includes
reforming customs, strategies as well as practices in schools, therefore fruitful actions can be
taken regarding the diverse needs of students in their region (Stegemann, 2017). Inclusive
education is someway clinical whereas the special education is based on the laws of inequity and

provides necessary actions, which is to be taken for the severe handicapped children. In my
perspective,inclusive education is the real unification of special education system and normal
system of education because it believes that every child is dissimilar and should be trained in
different manner.
Week-2
In my perspective, due to increasing population and poverty various diseases leads
destabilization in the economy. For this inclusive education in all the country had to be so that it
reduces poverty, which can be reduced by increasing the healthcare services, welfare of society
as well as by protecting budgets. For this reason, inclusive education is broadly seen as the way
to enhance human capital and performance of economic. It increases the abilities of an
individual. The worldwide change in the policies of inclusive education leads to modifications in
practices at school or classrooms. Following are the three policies of inclusive education.
Salamanca statement
Salamanca statement is not simply efficient but also cost effective (Armstrong,
Armstrong, & Barton, 2016). In my opinion, the perspective of the statement is based on
rights, which rely on education. However, focus of this statement is on those children who are
special and needs learner. The statement commits to support the rights of education and
renovates promise, which is made by the community of world in year 1990 during the
conference of world regarding education.
Framework of Dakar policy
The framework of Dakar policy is focused on enhancing all the phases of education,
which will help in accomplishing the measurable results. According to me, this strategy is
constructed to create fairness, security and equitability. The focal point of this framework is not
only in coaching and in education but also in providing security to disabled students. Along with
this it also provides effective learning equipments methods. This framework emboldens to
develop open environment at schools (Forlin, Watkins, & Meijer, 2016).

UN Declaration of human right
The other policy is UN declaration of human right, which declares that right of providing
education to everyone should be free of charge at schools and it is made necessary at the
elementary stage. I believe that, it promotes friendships among all diverse groups and removes
inequity among the children with disabilities. The policy comprises for providing learning,
training, healthcare as well as other services of rehabilitation and opportunities in schools
(Blackman, 2019). It focuses on creating favourable environment by supporting children to
accomplish their social, cognitive, emotional development aspects in the schools (Plows &
Whitburn, 2017). Further, addition of this policy is to remove all inequalities against females;
main purpose of this policy is that the children, women and entire young disabled people should
obtain knowledge and education without biasness.
Week-3
Inclusive education at schools
I will study about the inclusive education in schools; in my perspective, the climate of
inclusive education in schools is related with responsibility and accountability of disability
learners. These responsibilities are allocated among every staff member as well as environment
of the school supports that the instructors should work jointly. All learners with the needs of
special learning may obtain learning in classroom of the general education and contribute in
additional activities through required supports. Every student contributes in assessment of state
and region according to their desire, the information of this contribution is used for making
decision for students. I believe that, all members of staff involves in making and executing plan
for taking the actions (Causton & Bronson, 2015). A group ensures that every learner obtains
suitable help when required, other activities are also done in schools for developing the
employees professionally, which includes increasing capabilities of workers. Thus the theory
encourages the learners.The staffs of the Clinical along with other supporting members of staff
are the fundamental associates of school group (Kaushik, 2019).
