“…
an inclusive and child-friendly school must be not only
child-centred but also child-seeking, actively looking for
children of the community not in school – those with
disabilities but also those speaking a different language,
of a disadvantaged sex, or affected by poverty or HIV/AIDS,
helping to get them enrolled, and then ensuring that they
are not further excluded from learning and therefore succeed
in school. …”

“I’ve
come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element
in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates
the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher, I have a tremendous power to make a child’s
life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument
of inspiration. I can humiliate or honour, hurt or heal. In all
situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will
be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanised or dehumanised.”
[H. Ginnot about the role of teachers, 1972]

“At
the heart of inclusive education is the right to education. Inclusive
education is no more and no less than implementing the right to
non-discrimination to and in education as laid down in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (1948), reiterated by the Convention
on the Rights of the Child (1989), the Salamanca Statement (1994)
and the Dakar Framework for Action (2000). Every person has the
right to belong to mainstream society, mainstream development and
therefore to mainstream education! The question is whether we are
ready to face the implications of such a position.”

International Symposium 09/05]
