The Inclusive Education Action Group is a group of people committed to ensuring that all disabled children, young people and adults participate fully in their local, regular educational setting.
We recognise that disabled people are often denied the right to participate in education alongside other people of their age. Through our work we aim to promote knowledge, attitudes, policies and practices that facilitate inclusive education so that all disabled children, youth and adults will have equal opportunities to learn and flourish.

People who have special educational needs (whether because of disability or otherwise) have the same rights to enrol and receive education in state schools as people who do not.
Article 26 - Everyone has the right to education
Article 28 - States Parties recognize the right of the child to education, and with a view to achieving this right progressively and on the basis of equal opportunity.
Education is not only a fundamental right but also a basic necessity to be able to participate and flourish in one's community. It is the stage where children and adults learn to integrate into and become an active member of society.
