Question 1
Rights-based Epistemology in an Inclusive Classroom
The Rights-based Epistemology is a philosophical approach that grounds its principles in the
universal rights of individuals. This epistemology is particularly relevant in inclusive education,
where the rights of learners with disabilities must be upheld to ensure their full participation in
educational settings. The United Nations International Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD), adopted in 2006, lays the foundation for this approach, emphasizing the right
to education for all learners, including those with disabilities. In an inclusive classroom,
operationalizing this rights-based approach requires a commitment to creating an environment that
respects, protects, and fulfills these rights.
