Inclusion

Introduction

The inclusion of students with special needs into public schools has been a key topic of most educational systems in the world. Consequently the issue of educational inclusion is a concern for academic politics in many countries. Improvement in quality of life and the welfare of the citizenry is top priorities for governments and for developed societies. Nevertheless, some more groups still remain at risk of exclusion, such as immigrants, the disabled, ethnic minorities, the elderly, etc. Here, we have focused on the disabled. We began under the premise that young people are most likely to be sympathetic toward this group (UNESCO, 2005).

The concept of Inclusion

The concept of social exclusion attributed to René Lenoir (1974). A wide variety of people fit this category: not only poor but also the disabled, the suicidal, the elderly, abused children, and so on. Later this term used to refer to various types of social disadvantage, related to new social problems that would appear as a result of crisis situations: unemployment, marginalization and fundamental changes in the lives of families (Cannan and Warren 1997).

Sociologists have refined this concept and associated it with the dimension of poverty. Thus, increasingly more emphasis had been put on the duration and recurrence of periods (episodes) of poverty. The dividing line between poverty and social exclusion is really diffused. The focus of the "abilities" proposed by Sen (1985) clarifies the situation in the sense that what is really important in social exclusion is to take into account that it is multidimensional and dynamic, multifaceted and evolving, since it varies according to geographical location, social norms, and the present moment (Zolizan, 2000).
