In November 2011, the Agency hosted a Hearing at the European Parliament in
Brussels. The Agency's member countries nominated 88 young people, both with
and without special educational needs and/or disabilities, from secondary and
vocational education, to discuss what inclusive education means to them.
The aim of the Hearing was for the organisers and participants to listen to
the young people, as well as take note of the progress made in inclusive
education in the respective countries since 2007. Every young person can
highlight important issues regarding how inclusion is implemented, as well its
benefits and challenges, because they are all involved in what inclusive
education is. In light of how frequently it was mentioned in their discussions,
the importance of inclusion is clearly a common theme in the educational lives
of the young people.
The objectives of the Hearing were:
- to fully involve young people both with and without disabilities and/or special educational needs from secondary and vocational education. They are all concerned with what inclusion means;
- to listen to the young people and see what progress has been made in practice since 2007 with regards to inclusive education in their respective countries;
- to highlight important issues raised by all the young people regarding benefits of inclusive education and challenges still to overcome.
