Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities - Are We Making Progress? Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO | Leonard Cheshire (UK) The paper ‘Inclusive education for persons with disabilities – Are we making progress?’ has been developed as a background paper for the UNESCO International Forum on inclusion and equity in education – Every learner matters, being held in Cali, Colombia from 11-13 September 2019. The Forum is being organised in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the passing of the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action. The paper will explore the global progress towards inclusive education, the successes achieved and learnings observed specifically in countries of the global South. In these countries the concerns of universal access to and retention in education is still a concern for many governments, but large-scale exclusion of children with disabilities (an estimated 32 million or 1 out of 3 are out of school) remains the order of the day and is not always high on government agendas. Educación inclusiva para personas con discapacidades - ¿estamos logrando avances? Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO | Leonard Cheshire (UK) El informe «Educación inclusiva para personas con discapacidades: ¿estamos logrando avances?» ha sido elaborado como documento de referencia para el Foro Internacional sobre Inclusión y Equidad en la Educación UNESCO «Todas y todos los estudiantes cuentan», que se celebrará en Cali (Colombia) del 11 al 13 de septiembre de 2019. El Foro ha sido organizado para conmemorar el 25 aniversario de la aprobación de la Declaración de Salamanca y Marco de Acción sobre Necesidades Educativas Especiales. En este informe se explora el avance mundial hacia la educación inclusiva, los éxitos logrados y las conclusiones observadas específicamente en países del hemisferio sur, donde los problemas en torno al acceso universal a la educación y la continuidad en ella siguen siendo motivo de preocupación para numerosos gobiernos y donde la exclusión a gran escala de niños con discapacidad (se estima que unos 32 millones de niños no están escolarizados, lo que supone 1 de cada 3) sigue estando a la orden del día y no siempre es una prioridad en los programas gubernamentales.
