INCLUSION
“the process by which a school attempts to respond to all pupils as individuals by
reconsidering and restricting its curricular organisation and provision and allocating
resources to enhance quality of opportunity. Through this process the school builds
its capacity to accept all pupils from the local community who wish to attend and, in
so doing, reduces the need to exclude pupils.” (Sebba & Sachdev, 1997:9)
