International forum on inclusion and equity in education

Every learner matters

All children and young people should learn together, wherever possible, regardless of any difficulties or differences they may have. Inclusive schools and learning settings must recognize and respond to the diverse needs of their students.  

UNESCO’s International forum on inclusion and equity in education - Every learner matters is being held in Cali, Colombia from 11 to 13 September 2019. The International Forum, organized by UNESCO in cooperation with the Ministry of Education of Colombia and the City of Cali,  will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the World Conference on Special Needs Education held in Salamanca. It will explore challenges and strategies to overcome persistent barriers for vulnerable and marginalized groups and celebrate progress in moving towards education systems that leave no one behind, promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
