From integrated education to inclusive education – the evolution in pre-university education

Abstract

Integrated education and inclusive education are two important concepts in the field of education with different approaches and goals. The difference between the concepts is that integrated education involves adapting children with special needs to the school environment, while inclusive education involves adapting the educational environment to meet the needs of all children. In recent years, education systems have increasingly focused on inclusive education, as it promotes equality and equity. The goal of inclusive education is to create schools open to all children in the community that promote diversity and eliminate all forms of discrimination.
