Abstract
This video focuses on barriers to learning which can be brought about by the limiting educational system and the society or environment. The video further explains that children may experience one or more barriers to learning and the Inclusive Education approach is used to address these obstacles to enable all learners to reach their full potential. In order to achieve Inclusivity in education and training, the presenter in the video emphasizes the importance of a shift in the mindset from putting the problem with child, to changing the education system as a whole to meet all learner needs. This is supported by the agreements such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with disabilities and the Salamanca statement which recognize that education for all learners should occur in an inclusive manner.
