Learning from international experience
Description
This chapter discusses the enablers and barriers to progressing inclusive education and diminishing special education in three countries (Canada, Italy, and Portugal) using a framework structure of society, system, school, and community. Each country varies with respect to the approach taken and what they have achieved. It is not our intention to claim that these three countries are perfect. Learning about the enablers and barriers that contributed to the implementation of a more unified and inclusive education in Canada, Italy, and Portugal can inform a country like Australia to mobilise a shared commitment between society, system, school, and community levels to enact change. The chapter concludes with five lessons and a list of recommendations required to achieve inclusive education in Australia.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
