Understanding Inclusive Education in the Basque Country

Abstract

This chapter describes how this region of Europe is able to respond to the diversity of students in an inclusive way. Firstly, the evolution of the laws which make inclusion possible is considered; and secondly, the wide range of measures that can be applied in order to cater for student needs in the environment of mainstream education is analysed. Although there may be some aspects which can be improved, the data referred to in the chapter demonstrates the success of the Basque Educational system so as to give an inclusive response to students’ diversity.
