Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations
This chapter provides recommendations based on the need for reforms in the education systems indicated by the data analysed in this book. Providing the correct legal framework for developing inclusive education and the necessary resources and support for students who have special education needs are important elements in developing equitable education systems where all students can benefit as fully as possible from the opportunities education brings. Gathering data is an essential component of developing effective policies and efficient strategies to achieve the goal of inclusive education and to know whether it is being achieved.
