Best Practices in Inclusive Education Policies in Bangladesh

Inclusive Education (IE) in Bangladesh tends to be policy focused. For over a decade, the government of the country has taken major steps that legitimise and forward the practice of inclusive education. The aim of this section is to detail the legislative or constitutional framework in which policy choices are made regarding inclusion in the primary and secondary education systems,. The guideline for IE in Bangladesh can be traced back to policy documents developed in 1990s. The Compulsory Primary Education Act was created in 1990, and is the first government policy in which education for children with special needs was brought under legal jurisdiction. Several national policy guidelines have since been in the government’s central agenda to guide and implement inclusive education, and to obtain the goal of education for all. They are detailed in this 14 slide presentation.
