From Integration Education to Inclusive Education: The Moroccan Experience in Teaching Children with Disabilities.

Abstract

Inclusive education has been a turning point in Morocco. All children have access to school despite differences and difficulties between these children. Morocco has adopted this programme since 2019. Inclusive education can be referred to as a system of education that guarantees everyone's right to education and enshrines the principle of equal opportunities and equal learning. Morocco based its implementation of inclusive education on two basic principles. The first is the legal-juristic pillar, then the second pillar, which is educational. Morocco had benefited from various international experiences in teaching disabled children until it had reached the experience of inclusive education. Thus, a range of gains have been made in the area of disabled children's education, and challenges have been encountered in implementing this programme.
