Hi Riku, If I may come in. I go to Article 24 of the UNCRPD and it doesn't prescribe nor prohibit any class or school environment neither does it prescribe this or that approach, technology or whatever. It merely declares that State parties must work to have the capability to provide relevant, quality and effective educational services to all types of learners or students. Inclusion does not prescribe uniformity of class environment, approach, technology nor even as the simple scheduling of learning or teaching. In the Philippine, we take the stand that in providing education the main purpose is to address "The Best Interest" of the learner. It is not against inclusion if we address one learner's needs to absorb information, acquire skills and accept values regardless of whether he needs to be with other learners of diversed disabilities or with fellows with similar types of disabilities. What is of importance is that the learner is equally provided with opportunities to education and develop into the kind of person he freely prefers. Mixing and merging together learners without disabilities and with various types of disabilities may be of the best interests of those learners, but not all learners' best interest is addressed via such environment. And certainly we cannot impose any type of environment, approach if such shall not be of the best interest of the learner. So inclusion is merely with reference to the entire educational system of State Parties that must have the ability to serve that right and needs to all types of disabilities without compromising their respective best interest.
