Inclusive Schools Week

Inclusive Schools Week is celebrated the first week in December. It's a time designated to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of teachers, administrators, students, and parents in making their schools more inclusive, thereby contributing to the development of a more inclusive society. The week offers a significant opportunity for educators, students, and parents to engage in dialogue about inclusive education and to plan for the future.
