15、al and developmental approach that seeks to address the learning needs of all children and youth,with special focus on those who are most vulnerable to exclusion from and within the education system and embracing diversity.In Jordan,significant efforts are being made to move collectively with all st

16、akeholders towards greater inclusion and diversity in education at both policy and implementation levels.These efforts are crucial as many children,such as those with disabilities and learning difficulties,still often face numerous barriers to learning and development,which can limit their opportuni

17、ties and lead to social and economic exclusion.Jordan has renewed its commitment to the right to education for all at the UN Transforming Education Summit,as well as its commitment to monitor the Sustainable Development Goal 4.This compendium has been developed to create awareness among key stakehol

18、ders about their obligations and responsibilities to provide quality education to all girls and boys and young people throughout Jordan.It is aimed at policymakers,education professionals,and the wider community,and is a collaborative effort between the Jordanian government,GIZ and UNESCO.The compen

20、works in place to promote inclusive education,as well as the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in ensuring that all children and youth have equal access to quality education.By creating a shared understanding of the importance of inclusion and diversity in education,and by providi

40、nd key national and international development partners as part of the“Jordan Declaration on Inclusion and Diversity in Education”.The children identified as most vulnerable to exclusion from and within education are(listed alphabetically):1.Children affected by drugs and substance abuse2.Children ex

41、periencing gender inequality 3.Children from ethnic,language and social minorities 4.Children from income poor backgrounds 5.Children suffering from neglect,abandonment and abuse,incl.orphans 6.Children who are under-stimulated and disengaged(including first generation learners,children who are not

180、3.education systems should be designed and educational programmes implemented to take into account the wide diversity of these characteristics and needs,4.those with special educational needs must have access to regular schools which should accommodate them within a child centred pedagogy capable of

181、 meeting these needs,5.regular schools with this inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes,creating welcoming communities,building an inclusive society and achieving education for all;moreover,they provide an effective education to the majority of child

182、ren and improve the efficiency and ultimately the cost-effectiveness of the entire education system.ARTICLE 3We call upon all governments and urge them to:1.give the highest policy and budgetary priority to improve their education systems to enable them to include all children regardless of individu

183、al differences or difficulties,2.adopt as a matter of law or policy the principle of inclusive education,enrolling all children in regular schools,unless there are compelling reasons for doing otherwise,develop demonstration projects and encourage exchanges with countries having experience with incl

186、es,both pre-service and in-service,address the provision of special needs education in inclusive schoolsFRAMEWORK FOR ACTION ARTICLE 3The guiding principle that informs this Framework is that schools should accommodate all children regardless of their physical,intellectual,social,emotional,linguisti

187、c or other conditions.This should include disabled and gifted children,street and working children,children from remote or nomadic populations,children from linguistic,ethnic or cultural minorities and children from other disadvantaged or marginalised areas or groups.These conditions create a range

188、of different challenges to school systems.In the context of this SALAMANCA STATEMENT AND FRAMEWORK FOR ACTION ON SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION Compemdium Jordan28Framework,the term special educational needs refers to all those children and youth whose needs arise from disabilities or learning difficulties

189、.Many children experience learning difficulties and thus have special educational needs at some time during their schooling.Schools have to find ways of successfully educating all children,including those who have serious disadvantages and disabilities.There is an emerging consensus that children an

190、d youth with special educational needs should be included in the educational arrangements made for the majority of children.This has led to the concept of the inclusive school.The challenge confronting the inclusive school is that of developing a child-centred pedagogy capable of successfully educat

191、ing all children,including those who have serious disadvantages and disabilities.(.)ARTICLE 4(.)It assumes that human differences are normal and that learning must accordingly be adapted to the needs of the child rather than the child fitted to preordained assumptions regarding the pace and nature o

192、f the learning process.A child-centred pedagogy is beneficial to all students and,as a consequence,to society as a whole.(.)it can substantially reduce the drop-out and repetition(.),while ensuring higher average levels of achievement.(.)Child-centred schools are,moreover,the training ground for a p

193、eople-oriented society that respects both the differences and the dignity of all human beings.ARTICLE 6()Inclusion and participation are essential to human dignity and to the enjoyment and exercise of human rights.()ARTICLE 7The fundamental principle of the inclusive school is that all children shou

194、ld learn together,wherever possible,regardless of any difficulties or differences they may have.Inclusive schools must recognize and respond to the diverse needs of their students,()ARTICLE 10(.)Experience,moreover,suggests that inclusive schools,serving all of the children in a community,are most s

195、uccessful in eliciting community support and in finding imaginative and innovative ways of using the limited resources that are available.ARTICLE 18Educational policies at all levels,from the national to the local,should stipulate that a child with a disability should attend the neighbourhood school

196、 that is,the school that would be attended if the child did not have a disability.()Compendium Jordan PERMANENT EDUCATION LAW NO.3 AND ITS AMENDMENTS29PERMANENT EDUCATION LAW NO.3 AND ITS AMENDMENTS1415/199414 Full text available on:https:/moe.gov.jo/sites/default/files/31-10-201711-07-34_am.doc15 O
