Inclusive education means different and diverse students learning side by side in the same classroom. They
enjoy field trips and after-school activities together. They participate in student government together. And
they attend the same sports meets and plays.

What are some examples of inclusive education?

Is inclusive schooling a disadvantage?

• While other studies have shown that inclusive schooling is a disadvantage for both the general education
and special education student. Success for students with special needs is determined individually by all
members of the IEP team to determine if inclusive schooling is a benefit for that individual child.

How the Philippines Is Moving Towards Inclusive Education?

The Philippines has been working on implementing various programs and initiatives to support inclusive
education. One such initiative is the “Inclusive Education for All” program, which provides training and
support to teachers, parents, and school administrators on how to best meet the needs of all students.

The Philippines has been working towards inclusive education by training teachers. The Department of
Education (DepEd) has been working with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) to train teachers to include students with disabilities in their classrooms. This
training covers topics such as adapting instruction for students with disabilities, creating a supportive
learning environment, and working collaboratively with parents.

The Philippines has also been working to develop policies that support inclusive education. One such policy
is the creation of Special Education (SPED) schools, which are designed specifically for students with
special needs. These schools provide services and accommodations, such as smaller class sizes, specialized
instruction, and adaptive technology, which help ensure that these students can thrive in an academic
setting.

How the Philippines Is Moving Towards Inclusive Education?

Another policy that promotes inclusive education is the Alternative Learning System (ALS), which provides
non-traditional learning opportunities for students who have dropped out of school or cannot attend regular
classes due to health or other reasons. ALS programs offer a variety of courses, including vocational
training and basic literacy and numeracy courses, which allow students to learn at their own pace and in a
comfortable environment

In 2019, the Department of Education (DepEd) released DepEd Order No. 21, titled Policy Guidelines on
the K to 12 Basic Education Program includes a policy framework on inclusive education. This framework
promotes the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education.

In addition, former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte signed into law Republic Act No. 11650, dated March
11, 2022, titled Instituting a Policy of Inclusion and Services for Learners with Disabilities in Support of
Inclusive Education Act. This policy will identify the rights of people with disabilities, outline strategies for
improving access to education and other services, and identify areas where additional support is needed.
